The Latin word “verpa” is
pronounced werpa, just like the Filipino slang “werpa.” The two words mean different things,
however. The Filipino werpa is a
reversal of the transliteration of the English word “power” and simply means
power. Filipinos say “werpa” to show
support, essentially saying “more power to you!” The Latin werpa means penis.
Verpa is a noun. The adjective “verpus” (pronounced werpus)
means circumcised. Verpa, the noun, does
not exactly refer to a circumcised penis.
It also means erect penis protruding from the foreskin. In short, verpa may mean uncircumcised or
“supot” as we call it in Filipino, although this (supot) was not exactly the
thing alluded to in Ancient Rome. Verpa,
found on graffitis then, commonly referred to the penis as the insertor in anal
intercourse or the receiver of oral sex.
Nouns and adjectives in Latin
have gender: masculine, feminine and neuter.
Verpa, while meaning penis,
is a feminine word. “Cunnus” means vulva
and yet is a masculine word. English
uses natural gender to classify nouns, i.e., penis is naturally masculine,
vulva is naturally feminine, etc. Biology
helps determine gender. Latin uses
grammatical gender, i.e., gender is pre-assigned, and one has to memorize to
know which classification a word belongs to.
“Penis” as we know it in
English is also a Latin word, and its gender is masculine. “Vagina” is also Latin and is feminine. Natural gender may be the same as grammatical
gender but is not always the case in Latin.
That’s all for now, folks!
More werpa to you.
