...Pléntitude by Anik Dubaere incorporates many peaceful greens and blues. This watercolor painting does not look entirely realistic, but the landscape looks like one anyone can themselves at fishing, swimming, or relaxing. Many elements and colors paint the mind with the picture. All the greens in the trees of juniper, moss, pine, and basil provide contrast for the bright red making way due to the season change. The sky-blue water and the reflections of the trees caresses the mind with serenity. Amidst the forested getaway lies a shallow river lined with bushes and plants. But sturdy rocks intrude the glossy water. Nostalgia fills the soul observing tall, thin pine trees as caring parents looking over the playful river. All the...

...as swardspeak, a word coinage in the 1970s attributed by Jose Javier Reyes to columnist and movie critic Nestor Torre. Reyes himself devoted a book on the subject titled Swardspeak: A Preliminary Study. No other term has replaced swardspeak in local usage since the 70s but Ronald Baytan (in his essay “Language, Sex, and Insults: Notes on Garcia and Remoto’s The Gay Dict”) opines that the term sward these days has become anachronistic, making it improper to call the language of the gay people as “swardspeak” preferring instead to term it gayspeak. Consciously or unconsciously, even straights or heterosexuals have peppered their vocabulary with words traceable to gayspeak. Mention the word anech (from “ano” or “what” in English with anesh, anik, anikla as varieties) to anyone in the metropolitan area and in all likelihood, the person being spoken to will reply as casually. There are also the familiar words chika, chuva, and lafang. Thanks or no thanks to media (depending on which side you’re in), gayspeak has come into public usage. In 2004, the first gay show on TV history, GMA-7’s Out, devoted a section of its show to gayspeak, threshing out a word like purita (meaning poor) and explaining its context to the largely entertained and “enlightened” audience. Such a section, of course, had its predecessor in Giovanni Calvo’s 80s show...

...Bekimon: A fresh take on Pinoy gay lingo [pic]By Karen Flores, abs-cbnNEWS.com MANILA, Philippines - Fair-skinned and well-groomed Bern Josep Persia may be the new face of the gay-speaking community, being the self-proclaimed bekimonpresident in the country. A photographer and a tech support representative, Persia plays different roles (from a call center agent to a newscaster) in a series of videos aboutbekimons, defined as people who are "hard-core users" of gay language -- whether they are homosexuals or not. Most of the terms that bekimons commonly use are alterations of basic Filipino and English words such as workibells (work), kalurkey (kaloka or crazy), teh (ate or sister), anekwaboom (ano or what) and heller (hello). Others are totally unique -- from the popular jowa (spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend) to names of showbiz figures such as Carmi Martin (a term used to refer to karma). The term bekimon (beki is a colloquial word for "gay") took off from the growing popularity of the jejemon subculture, which refers to those who deliberately exaggerate ordinary words by adding or subtracting letters, or by using a mixture of upper-case and lower-case letters, in written communication. On Monday, jejemon was chosen as Salita ng Taon (Word of the Year) in the Sawikaan 2010, an academic conference organized by the Filipinas Institute of Translation Inc. (Read story here.)

...Workplace Vulgar Language as a form of Sexual Harassment ETH 321/Ethical and Legal Topics in Business Lisa Pollock Valentine Castillo September 14, 2015 Workplace Vulgar Language as a form of Sexual Harassment The possible defenses in the case could be that the words that were being used in C.H. Robinson which were considered vulgar were just non-specified gender words which are general vulgarities words commonly used in various workplaces. One can speak swear words like s…t and f…k which are not unlawful. The words can also be used while cracking jokes and not specified for a given gender. Defense may also argue that the words were being used even before Reeves was employed in the company hence they are common terms used in the company. The company can also defend the use of the terms/words by indicating that it was not gender specific since the terms can be used to refer to any gender in local languages. However, the court ruling was based on gender specificity of the words used such as b…ch, c..t and w…re. The words and conducts of the speakers were directed towards the female gender which created a hostile and abusive workplace environment for a reasonable person. According to Oppenheimer (2014), the verbal conducts that creates hostile environment at the workplace have been prohibited by the Supreme Court through interpretation of the Title VII of Civil Rights Act of 1964. When the conduct or the acts of an individual in the workplace is adequately pervasive...
