EN: was treated as an errand boy; was bossed around
When your boss, tita, or jowa treats you like a personal Grab delivery, Shopee courier, and all-around "boy" rolled into one. "Pakikuha ng kape." "Pakibili ng yosi." "Paki-print nito." You're not an employee or a partner, you're just being biniboy.
From English "boy" + Tagalog infix "-in-".
Often used humorously or with frustration to describe being taken for granted and ordered around for menial tasks.
