EN: to frisk by lifting clothes
This is a more invasive search than just patting someone down. It's when the security guard at the concert lifts the hem of your shirt to check for... well, whatever you're not supposed to bring in. It's a very specific, slightly awkward, and very Pinoy way of frisking. Kailangang bulislisin ang mga bata kung may tinatago silang kendi bago matulog.
From 'bulislis' (the state of being lifted or rolled up, e.g., a skirt) + '-in' (verb suffix).
Implies lifting clothing (shirt, pants, skirt) to search for something hidden underneath.
