The work macaca is also used in the Philipines. I have yet to know what the word means in their language because I have not been able to find the Filipino translation. Actually, the word makaka has several meanings in the Polynesian language. The word "stiff" would be an appropriate meaning. Also, for you plant lovers, The Makaka plant is a species of the Maidenhair plant: Adiantum aethiopicum. Once again, Sen. George Allen nails it: this person is indeed a "plant."

Very nice. I believe the native Filipino language is called "Tagalog".
