Question

well.. i remember long time ago, i was chillin with my cousin in the philippines.. and she mentioned to someone that im a "koboy"..

what exactly does that mean?!

Answer 1

"koboy" means in Pinas, you can adapt to what's going on around you.  you don't complain what they serve you to eat or where you sleep or where they take you.  you're a good sport.

Answer 2

its the same as a"cowboy", a street language in Philippines, if somebody calls you a "koboy" take that as a compliment, it means you're not picky (in everything), you get along well with everybody, no inhibitions whatsoever

Answer 3

It's a actually a English word pronounced in Tagalog which is "cowboy." It just means that a person is a "cowboy" if they are okay and adaptable to everything.. It means that they do not mind doing everything that their companions do and they are easy to get along with.. It basically means a person is "game" to everything and is willing to try anything without being picky or whiny..

Answer 4

a cowboy? someone ready to ride anytime. a spontaneous person.

Answer 5

*koboy - Filipinized slang for “cowboy”, usually meant to denote being down-to-earth and willing to forego certain luxuries

Answer 6

It means you're not snotty and is willing to "rough it". Just being one of the guys. No need to treat you special.

Answer 7

someone who is not choosy, fuzzy and could go with anything.

your cousin could have said that if you have been eating what they have without saying "yuck or no i don't think i'll like that".

you could eat with your bare hands.

you like to go with them wherever they want to, without asking where or are we safe there, is it ok to go there,etc.

that is usually being said to someone whom they don't expect to like what they're doing.  

Answer 8

okay yan. it means you're "game" with anything!

Answer 9

"koboy" simply means that you're willing to get your hands dirty, figuratively speaking. it's an attitude of wanting to do something even if it won't be convenient.
