EN: to grab a handful
Ito 'yung ginagawa mo sa free-taste sa supermarket, o sa popcorn bowl habang nanonood ng nakakakabang movie. Hindi paisa-isa, kundi isang buong **dakol**. The art of getting as much as you can in one go. Efficiency, 'ika nga.
The action implies taking a large quantity with one's hand, often in a slightly greedy or hurried manner. The noun form, also 'dakol', means 'a handful'.
