EN: a heavy blow; a powerful strike
This isn't just a tap; it's a full-on, "umilag ka kung ayaw mong ma-ospital" kind of hit. Think Manny Pacquiao's punch, or your mom's "palo" with a walis tambo when you've been a pasaway. It's a strike with intent and power.
Often implies a sudden and forceful action. Can be used literally for a physical strike or figuratively for a major setback.
