“ibaon sa limot”

balat-kalabaw

thick-skinned, not easily hurt

tinik sa lalamunan

a thorn in one's side, a constant problem

Matigas ang ulo

Stubborn; doesn't listen.

naliligo sa pera

very rich

walang usok kung walang apoy

there's no smoke without fire

utak-biya

dim-witted

hating-gabi

midnight, the middle of the night

sa madaling salita

in short
