EN: to hit, to strike; to deliver a line
Two main uses: 1) The literal 'sumuntok' or 'humampas' (to punch/hit). 2) The more common modern use: when someone drops a witty comment, a savage comeback, or a cheesy pick-up line. 'Bumanat ka na naman ng hugot!' is a national pastime. This is the verb form of making 'banat'.
Has both a literal meaning of striking and a very common colloquial meaning of delivering a line (witty, hurtful, or romantic). Context is key.
