Just a realization… i was having a thought a while ago when i read something about the word “DEADMA,” then the light bulb appeared.
Nabasa ko that the word “DEADMA” pala came from “DEAD MALICE,” Pinoys as we know it are very fond of innovating countless salitang kalye within the country. Deadma is a short cut for “Dead Malice” na sa tagalog ay “Patay Malisya.” It is widely used nationwide.. haha.. at di na lang basta salitang kalye ngayon.. mukhang generic term na rin ito… akalain mo nga naman.
