EN: pitfall, trap pit
The classic cartoon trap. You dig a hole, cover it with leaves, and wait for the 'kontrabida' (villain) or your unsuspecting friend to fall in. It's a literal 'pitfall,' the kind you set for others, unlike the metaphorical pitfalls you create for yourself by maxing out your credit card on Shopee.
From Tagalog 'hukay' (pit) and 'patibong' (trap).
Used to describe physical traps in hunting or warfare, or metaphorically for a deceptive situation designed to ensnare someone.
