pinoy slang sub cult

What are "TANDERCATS?"

[And nope, it's not those animated characters]

It refers to the "old Pinoy men" 35-yrs old to infinity and beyond.

ETYMOLOGY: Comes from the Tagalog word MATANDA [old]. So the creative Pinoys just deleted the first syllable ["ma"], erased the last "a" and added "ER" + CATS to make it TANDERCATS.

Complicated? Yeah, but that's how old geezers are.
