EN: to tinker, to fiddle with
This is the art of looking busy by fiddling with something, usually mechanical or electronic. It's what your dad does on a Sunday afternoon with an old radio. He's not really fixing it, he's just `butingting`-ing. It's tinkering without a professional license.
Verb forms: bumutingting (actor-focus), butingtingin (object-focus), binubutingting (is tinkering).
🇵🇭 Huwag mong butingtingin ang cellphone ko at baka masira mo.
🇺🇸 Don't fiddle with my cellphone, you might break it.
