EN: snare; trap for birds or small animals
The OG way of catching things before Shopee sold nets. It's a snare or a trap, usually a loop that tightens when triggered. Think of it like a low-tech security system for catching your lunch in the province. Also, a good metaphor for feeling trapped in a dead-end job or a bad relationship: 'Parang nasa bitlingan ako.'
From 'bitling' (snare).
Primarily used in rural, agricultural, or hunting contexts. Less common in urban settings.
