/da-MU-ho/
FIL: Tumutukoy sa isang taong bastos, walang pinag-aralan, at walang modo sa pagkilos o pananalita.
EN: brutish; uncivilized; boorish
This is your ultimate 'walang modo' insult. It's for someone who acts like a total barbarian. Think of someone who cuts in line, talks with their mouth full, or just has zero social graces. 'Hoy, **damuho**! Pumila ka nga!' It's a step above 'bastos'—it implies a complete lack of refinement, like they were raised in the wild.
The direct etymology is uncertain, but it's possibly related to the wildness of 'damo' (grass). It is treated as a root word in modern Filipino.
A strong, derogatory term used to describe a person's behavior or character. Can be used as both an adjective and a noun (a boor).
