EN: brittle
This is that piece of furniture you're scared to even breathe on. It's the state of wood that's one wrong move away from turning into dust. Think of old, termite-infested wood or your emotional state after three straight OT days. That's dupong.
Usually describes wood or plant-based materials. Can be used metaphorically for things that are weak or fragile.
