EN: prostrate, sprawled out
The final pose after a 12-hour shift, a whole-day exam, or after eating the entire handaan. It's when your body just gives up and you're sprawled on the floor or bed, unable to move. Drama level: 100. Also, the default position of villains after getting beaten by the bida in an action movie.
Often seen as 'nakahandusay' (adjective, "is sprawled out") or the verb 'humandusay' (to fall prostrate). The root word itself describes the state.
