hi skbh12, that sounds nice and funny. in my country, if we say 'ya,ya..' it means 'ok, ok!' well, we call them 'luka'. it's nothing to do with luke perry hahaha....anyway, 'luka perih' which sounds like luke perry means 'painful wounds'. but don't misspell it with 'suka' because it means like or happy. i have a happy that's need cleaning and medication?? misspelling it with 'buka' is also not recommended. 'buka' means open. i have an open that needs cleaning and medication??? hahaha... what i am talking about? sorry, i am just excited because you appear on mylot again. happy mylotting!

Where I live there are many different things that people tend to call them. Some of them are called boo boos or even ouchies. I am sure that there are other things that they are called but i know that I tend to call them at least those two things. i live in the US though so I know that many people call things by different names.

[i]HI skbh, wow..cute avatar there! very perfect couple! In the Visayas, we call it "samad" and kids will be shouting and crying and days, "samad is yayay" when it hurts them deeply and even if it's only a small wound! LOL![/i]

Wow, that's new. I usually call my wounds "sugat". I never grew old not knowing how to call the wounds. And I never had a nanny, that's why I can't act all childish and stuff, so it's either a "sugat" or "gasgas". There. You know where I'm from.
