EN: to milk; to extract milk
Literally, this is what farmers do to cows. Figuratively, it's what your sibling does to you when they keep asking for money, or what a corrupt official does to public funds. They are "milking" the source for all it's worth. It's a more old-school term for 'mangikil' or 'manlamang'.
ROOT MEANING: milk
Can be used literally for animals or figuratively for exploiting a person or situation for gain.
