Lantyug

Lantyug is a traditional Filipino term, primarily used in certain regions of the Philippines, to describe a tall, thin, and somewhat ungainly or lanky person. The term often carries a slightly humorous or affectionate connotation, suggesting a person who is noticeably slender and may appear awkward in their movements or posture. While it generally refers to physical appearance, it might also indirectly imply youthfulness or a lack of physical maturity. The specific regional usage and subtle nuances of the word can vary. The term is not considered highly formal or widely used throughout the entire Philippines. It can be considered colloquial, depending on the location and context of use.
