'''Pak Ganern''', also known as '''Pak! Ganern''', is a famous [[Filipino language|Filipino]] [[catchphrase]].

==Origin==
There is no definite origin of the term "pak ganern". According to Felipe Jocano Jr., an [[anthropologist]] and [[professor]] from [[University of the Philippines Diliman]], the word "pak" may came from [[Tagalog language|Tagalog]] word "tumpak" ([[English language|English]]: [[wiktionary:correct|correct]]) or may just be an [[onomatopoeia]] for [[explosions]], and "ganern" came from [[Tagalog language|Tagalog]] word "ganoon" ([[English language|English]]: [[wiktionary:like that|like that]]).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.scoutmag.ph/section/culture/beginners-guide-trending-filipino-slang/ |title=The Beginner’s Guide to Trending Filipino Slang|author=Abril, Danice |date=July 13, 2016 |work= |publisher=Scoutmag.ph|accessdate=August 25, 2016}}</ref>

==Uses==
The catchphrase has many purposes. It can be used to express a range of emotions such as happiness, excitement, amazement, and shock.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/08/16/16/viral-vice-ganda-plays-pak-ganern-clapping-game |title=VIRAL: Vice Ganda plays 'Pak Ganern' clapping game|author= |date=August 16, 2016 |work= |publisher=ABS-CBN News|accessdate=August 25, 2016}}</ref> According to Jocano, the term "pak ganern" can be used as a [[pun]]. It also acts in speech as a space filler, a cue for [[sarcasm]], and "a way to downplay one's self so as to avoid being thought of as vain or proud." According to Mhawi Rosero, a [[linguist]] and [[researcher]], the term can be used in its [[root (linguistics)|root form]] or with [[affixes]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/572793/lifestyle/artandculture/what-is-pak-and-why-is-it-ganern-experts-weigh-in-on-new-online-catchphrase |title=What is pak and why is it ganern?
