I hate hearing this word being thrown around so casually. When I worked at GW, plenty students used to call each other this like umm you guys don’t have kids, you’re just kids!

I don't mind hearing "par" too much but I honestly am SHOOK by how many people weren't aware of the origins of the word. Absolutely shook. I took my knowledge for granted.

I wonder if it’s a generational thing because we used to hear “kumaile-ku” and “kumpaire-ku” all the time. Now everyone says “my måle’” and “my påre”.

So there was a guy in my thread who pointed out that another reason why he thought it was "friend" was bc in Tagalog, "pari" means friend. So even the "påre" people I feel aren't getting it quite right either bc "påre" and paire' are very diff sounds.

I also remember growing up when my nana and mother would invite our Filipino friends, I’d hear them say “påré, påré” (I just put the “é” to emphasize the sound. It could’ve just been what I heard though. Interesting origins.
