It's the tote that counts

Merriam-Webster defines "tote" or "toting" as a transitive verb, probably from an English-based creole, meaning "to carry by hand; bear on the person: lug, pack". Funny how one little word (or ignorance of its meaning...or the word's auditory resemblance to the Filipino word "tutok"?) can lead to a P25-million lawsuit these days.
