EN: teasing; a session of teasing
This is the national sport of Filipino barkadas. It's the constant, affectionate ribbing about everything from your love life ('Ayieee!') to your new haircut. It's fun until someone gets 'pikon' (sore). The golden rule of **asaran**: if you can't take it, don't dish it out.
From 'asar' (annoyance) + '-an' suffix, indicating a reciprocal action or a venue for the action.
ROOT MEANING: annoyance; irritation
Can be a noun ("Nagsimula na ang asaran.") or a verb ("Huwag tayong mag-asaran."). The line between 'asaran' and 'bullying' can sometimes be thin.
