What does “iyot” mean?
iyot
Oh okay, heads up — this one is pretty explicit, so just be aware!
So "iyot" is a vulgar word from Bisaya, a language spoken in the Visayas region of the Philippines. It basically means the same thing as the English word "f*ck" — both as a word for sex and as a strong expletive when someone is angry or surprised.
Honestly, I didn't know this word before, but someone told me about it and the examples made it really clear. Like when someone wrote "IYOT ka RACIST" it felt exactly like saying "f*ck you, racist" in English. And other posts used it very directly talking about sex. So the meaning was pretty obvious from context!
It's a really crude, strong word — totally NSFW — so be careful when and where you use it.
