EN: crammed; packed full
Imagine the MRT at 6 PM on a payday Friday. That's **asak**. Your balikbayan box when you're trying to fit one last bar of soap? **Asak** na **asak**. It’s the feeling of being so full there's no room to breathe, applicable to both people and things.
Often reduplicated as 'asak na asak' for emphasis. Synonymous with 'siksik'.
