The state of being when you have 5 minutes to get ready for a Zoom call you forgot about. It's the "dali-dali" mode, the "late na ako!" panic. When someone is apurado, they move like their life is on fast-forward, probably spilling coffee along the way.
From Spanish 'apurado' (hurried, in trouble).
Very common in everyday speech. Interchangeable with 'nagmamadali'.
