EN: animal (as an insult)
Officially it means "animal" from English/Spanish, but in the Philippines? It's a classic mura (curse word). It's what you scream when someone cuts you off in traffic or when your internet dies mid-Zoom meeting. It's less about the literal creature and more about calling someone uncivilized. Usage: "Animal ka!"
From Spanish 'animal' or English 'animal'. Its use as a curse word is a local development.
Considered a mild to moderate curse word. Its intensity depends heavily on the tone of voice. Often used in the phrase 'Animal ka!'.
