What is the difference between monay and putay?

Answer 1

Monay (pronounced mon-eye) is a popular Filipino bread derived from the Spanish pan de monja (nun's bread). In the Western Visayas region of the Philippines monay also denotes the female sexual organ in the local Ilongo dialect, particularly the female pudendum (interestingly derived from the Latin pudere, to be ashamed, circa 1634; also known as the mons veneris, meaning mound or eminence of Venus, circa 1621, in funny English literature; or the mons pubis i.e., public eminence, circa 1903, to first-year medical students). Apparently they had a sense of humor back then. The same sense of humor applies to the Ilongo monay since the bread does bear a striking resemblance to plump external female genitalia. How bread made by nuns evolved into a more than passable representation of a feminine protuberance in Ilongo culture is largely unknown, or debatable along the lines of "the chicken or the egg" (technically Ilongo refers to a native of Iloilo, one of the four provinces of Panay Island, which is part of the Philippine region of Western Visayas; but it also generally refers to anyone from this region). Perhaps it may have been a brainchild of an overly imaginative monk/baker when the Philippines was still a colony of Spain.

Putay (pronounced put-eye, stress on the second syllable) on the other hand is a vulgar, derogatory Ilongo term for the vagina as a whole, not just the external mons. It may have been derived from the Spanish puta(whore). Unlike the more descriptive and sensually appealing monay, putay cannot be used in polite Ilongo company, despite being defined in urbandictionary.com as "a very funny word to yell out during math class."

Hot monay with cheese, anyone?

Answer 2

"Monay" is a type of Filipino bread roll that is often sweet, soft, and round in shape. On the other hand, "putay" is not a commonly known term and may vary depending on the context or region it is used in.
