EN: rotten (wood); brittle
That old wooden chair in your lola's house that you're scared to sit on? That's probably 'gipo.' It's wood that's been weakened by time, termites (anay), or moisture, making it fragile and ready to crumble. It's the reason why you can't trust old cabinets or floorboards. Think of it as wood that's past its expiration date.
Specifically used to describe the state of wood or similar materials that have become weak and brittle.
