Christine Gambito, better known to her audience as HappySlip, is an internet celebrity and popular youtube content provider. She maintains one of YouTube’s most subscribed channels.
Gambito attributes her nickname “HappySlip” to her Filipino mother’s mispronunciation of “half slip”:
As a child, my Filipino mom would always remind me to wear a half-slip with skirts. However, the way she would pronounce the phrase was misleading: “Your hap e-slip! Be sure to wear your hap e-slip!” So I naturally went around calling the thing a ‘happy slip,’ until friends at school corrected me by asking if I had a ’sad slip’ as well.
Here’s one of my favorite clips, check it out. You could find more clips on www.happyslip.com
