Patatu

PATATU(adjective) same as PATATS, PALAPATATU, PATATAZ, PATATO is a household term in the Philippines derived from a native Pampango dialect used by the Capampañgans of the province called Pampanga coined by Ryan Ericson Canlas and his clan used as an adjective referring to a trait of wanting and trying to be associated with everyone at par with their stature and level and almost always attempting to relate to almost all topics at hand with pretention.

This is often synonymous to traits pertaining to a social-climber but then again without the negative aspects and often this is more of a funny attribute than that of a nuisance.
