EN: to shoo away, to drive off
This is what you do to the fly that won't leave your adobo alone. 'Shoo! Shoo!' That's the essence of **bugawin**. It’s the action of waving your hand to drive away a pesky mosquito, a stray cat asking for food, or that 'marites' neighbor trying to eavesdrop on your conversation.
Commonly used for animals and insects, but can be used colloquially and sometimes rudely for people.
