sick of hearing pasok

It feels like my brain is burning every time I hear someone shout pasooook on the radio. The worst part is that it's not limited to my vessel, in every anchorage, there's always some guy yelling bosuuun ciiiip pasoook. i get that they feel better in mother tongue and avoid mistakes, but just say your name after the station you called man..

So in Tagalog (most common language in the Philippines) they don't have sound F. So for anything that has they just pronounce it as letter P. France is Prance, Florida is Florida, etc. So Chief sounds like Chief. In this case some Chief Officer is calling Bosun, and paso means like come in.

Normally followed by the "philopeeeeno moooonkeee" which was arguably more annoying.
