My partner is Filipino and we're both blown away by this! I had no idea.(Maybe) fun trivia:
Boondock is one word. It comes from the Tagalog word, bundok, meaning mountains. In WWII, the American soldiers in the Phillipines picked up on this word and started calling their boots "bookdockers" - which is where the word comes from.
Have a great week!
It's actually from the US occupation of the Phillipines after the Spanish-American War.My partner is Filipino and we're both blown away by this! I had no idea.
