EN: to boast about; to show off
This is the 'bida-bida' verb. It's what that one officemate does during meetings, trying to answer every question even if it's not for them. It's posting your new iPhone with the caption 'blessed' but really just wanting to **show it off**. It's the act of making 'galing' into 'mayabang.'
From i- + pag- + magaling (good/skilled).
ROOT MEANING: excellent, skilled; excellence, skill
Carries a negative connotation of boastfulness or arrogance. It's different from `ipagmalaki`, which can be positive (pride). `Ipagmagaling` is almost always negative (bragging).
