This is the upgraded, more *sosyal* version of 'echos' or 'charot'. It's the verbal equivalent of an eye-roll and a hair flip. When you're telling a story and can't be bothered with the details, you just sprinkle in some 'eklavou'. "So ayun, nag-away sila about the project, the deadline, the budget, and eklavou." It's the ultimate filler word for the modern Filipino storyteller. Also spelled 'eklavu'.
