It's comforting to know you're not alone in your bizarre interests. Posted on 12/05/2002.

COMMENT #1
Could also refer to a derivative of Tagalog curse phrase: puta ng ama mo(sp?) usually abbreb or slurred sounds like putang, basically translated...your mother is a slut.

You are taking this research into the realm of the ridiculous. Which, if it needs to be pointed out, greatly diminishes its interest and appeal.
