disponering
n.— «I, for my own female brain, didn’t realize that Filipino innovations could lead to the fixing of cars or in layman’s term “disponering.”…I found out later that the car is a wreck he brought from the surplus, not his personal car as he claimed. Everything inside the car was not Mitsubishi spare parts, “disponering” as they call it.» —“A balikbayan victimized by Pinoy cheats” by Zoe Cadena-Pittracher News Today (Iloilo City, Philippines) Nov. 27, 2007.
