EN: rotten (egg); addled
The OG meaning is a rotten egg that stinks when you crack it open. But in the wild, it's what your tita calls someone who makes a really dumb decision. "Ay, bugok!" is the classic Pinoy reaction to seeing someone fail at a simple task, like pushing a "pull" door. It's the intellectual equivalent of a computer that won't boot up.
Often used as a mild insult for someone who is unintelligent or has made a foolish mistake. The literal meaning applies specifically to eggs, as in 'bugok na itlog'.
🇵🇭 Huwag mo nang lutuin 'yan, bugok na ang itlog.
🇺🇸 Don't cook that anymore, the egg is already rotten.
🇵🇭 Talagang bugok siya, hindi marunong sumunod sa simpleng panuto.
🇺🇸 He's really dull-witted, he doesn't know how to follow simple instructions.
