- contraction of "asim" (sour); - can be loosely translated as "stinky", or "sweat-smelling"; - closely related to a phenomenon during the Jejemon era (a parallel to the Swagapino era) where people used to take selfies with the facial expression similar to sourface (like a bad/cringe/ironic version of aegyo) - recently reemerged as a phrase used to describe a person having trashy behavior, tacky self-presentation, cheap taste, obviously pretentious wealth-signaling, or repulsive sexual insinuation - similar to "squammy" in use
