    Default Singlish (Singapore English) vs. Conyo English (Filipino English). Which one sounds better?

    Btw, for Spanish speakers, yes "conyo" came from "coño" (vagina) and some Filipinos spell it that way. A little background...

    So where did the term “Coño” come from then? Well, the initial Filipino rich kids of the 1950s to the 1970s were the children of Spanish-speaking Filipinos who spoke Spanish and/or English at home. They weren’t a large part of the Manila population but many were celebrities or influential personalities. They were known for saying the Spanish swear-word coño a lot — it roughly translates to “cunt” or “vulva” in English but can be used as a substitute for “shit” or “fuck.”

    The primary Coño-speakers were white mestizos who drove fancy cars and attended expensive and exclusive schools. Initially they were of Spanish ancestry but an increasing number of “Amboys” (Americanized Filipino boys) and rich Chinoys (Chinese-Filipinos) became their classmates and adopted the slang and lifestyle of the “Coño kids.
    And Singlish is the everyday dialect that people use in Singapore.

    Singlish


    Conyo English- The two people wearing caps are speaking mostly Tagalog, but everyone else is speaking mostly English with the typical conyo accent
