EN: pockmarked, dimpled, full of depressions
Describes a surface that looks like it has a bunch of mini-wells or craters. Think of a pockmarked face from past acne, the surface of the moon, or an unpaved 'lubak-lubak' road after a heavy rain. It's the 'before' picture in a skincare ad for acne scars.
From the reduplication of `balon` (well).
Used to describe uneven surfaces, particularly skin or ground. 'Lubak-lubak' is a more common term for roads.
