The term "paskuripot" is not a standard, formal Filipino or Tagalog word, but rather a playful or colloquial portmanteau (a blend of words) combining "Pasko" (Christmas) and "kuripot" (stingy or miserly).
Meaning Breakdown:
Pasko: The Filipino word for Christmas.
Kuripot: The common Filipino term for a person who is a miser, stingy, or reluctant to spend money, sometimes to the point of forgoing even basic necessities. A more positive term for someone who saves money wisely is "matipid" (frugal or thrifty).
Therefore, "paskuripot" colloquially refers to someone who is stingy or miserly during the Christmas season, a time traditionally associated with generosity and giving in the Philippines.
