OP Gigil (Tagalog): The urge to pinch or squeeze something that is unbearably cute.
Prononciation: Ghee-gle
For clarification, I first came across the word gigil on a TV forum discussion about the origin of language. Since then I have had trouble finding a true source.
This is all I have ..... Filipino Dictionary
I'm thinking, because this word exists in Filipino it means the Philippines has a lot of cute things to talk about, things so cute you melt as they look back at you with their huge doe eyes.
When I heard it I thought 'we should use that word'. Its so much better than, * OMG! that little puppy is so cute, look at him, I just want to squeeze him and cuddle him tight* and what about the time your elderly aunt/grandmother comes to visit. Does she pinch your cheeks and say how cute your dimples are? So now this is the word to describe that action.
