Reason#114 Excuse Me Po While I Slice the Air

Nice to know:

As an educated, polite Pinoy, you know that it's impolite to pass between two conversing individuals. But sometimes you just have to! Like when inconsiderate chatters are blocking a narrow hallway. To show how sorry you are for your rudeness, you have to learn this air-slicing move.

Why it's in the list:

With one simple gesture, people instantly know that you want to pass through. I don't think people from other countries do this.

The best combo is to stoop down below eye level, mutter "skyuz me", and display the final stage of a karate chop. Like magic, people will lighten up and allow you to pass in front of them. Whatta move!
