Kamusta tol? Ever wonder where the word tol (bro) came from? Most people would say it comes from the word utol (brother or sister), which is correct but not exactly the complete origin of the word. This word went through many modifications and actually originates from the term "kaputol ng pusod" which translates in English, "cut from the same navel". So the next time your drinking with friends and someone says, "shot ka na tol!" tell the the origin term and how it went from "kaputol ng pusod" to "kaputol" to "utol" to "tol" for a good drinking story.
