The Bekimon term “Anik” (from “ano”, meaning “what”) is often used with that extra arte and sass that fits perfectly into the playful, campy, and witty vibe we’ve seen in ABS-CBN shows and personalities. Shows like Drag You and Me (an iWantTFC series starring Andrea Brillantes) thrive on bekimon. The word “Anik” would fit right in during backstage chikahan, because drag culture often amplifies bekimon terms for punchlines.
Gamitin natin ng bongga:
“Anik ‘yun, mare?!” (Instead of a plain “Ano ‘yun?” It’s a very beki-coded banter).
