MANANANGGAL. Literally means “one that removes”. This creature is usually an attractive woman by day. At night, especially when there is a full moon, her upper body detaches from her lower body; it utters a special demonic prayer and applies some kind of oil on all of its body parts before the ‘detachment’.

A work colleague 10 years back guesses WoW classes...
GB: it's cool just say hello! he probably would really like to hear from you. we haven't heard from you in YEARS. just tell him you got his SN from me. i talk to EB like ALL the time. we play WoW
MB: oooooooooh WOW. ok wait. let me guess.
GB: ?
MB: dont say it
GB: ok?
MB: EB is a tank, you are a lock
GB: LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL HOLY F*CK HOLY F*CK
MB: ?
GB: DEAD ON
MB: spot on ? word
GB: yes! GET THE F*CK OUT. ok, how did you reason that?
MB:
GB: dang
MB: quit cold turkey in april
GB: seriously, i'm curious, how did you reason that?
MB: it WAS OWNING MY LIFE. oh you mean you and EB?
GB: like how did you know i was a lock, and how would you figure EB is a tank?
MB: cmon i "know" you guys personally. so how could i not know what wow toons you are
GB: LOL. so i'm not a death knight? or a rogue?
MB: everyone has a DK alt
GB: man i can't believe you called that. i started as a rogue. i levelled one, then when EB started i switched to warlock so he could tank. so it's just like when we all used to work together many years ago.
MB: that is so awesome that you guys play together, what realm?
GB: [Realm]
MB: if i ever go back, i'll hit you guys up
GB: EB's backup is a mage
MB: ok bust it, my two mains were warr tank and mage too. EB is my alter-ego
GB: i admittedly do not crank as much as EB does
MB: and i was gonna say, there is no way EB is a pussy pally tank, he has to be a real tank, warrior
GB: LOL word. actually EB is an orc because he liked the hammer dance. obvs i'm a belf lock
MB: im sure you can guess my race, yea most chicks are
GB: lol i loves the twinking. undead, cause you are up at all times :)
