EN: to have something be pecked (by a bird)
Literally, to have a bird peck at something. You'd use this when telling someone to feed the chickens with grains. Figuratively, it's what you do with a piece of gossip—you throw it out there for people to pick apart. 'Inilabas niya ang chismis para ipatuka sa mga Marites.'
Commonly used in rural or agricultural settings. The figurative meaning is a modern, slang evolution.
🇵🇭 Tuwing umaga, ang trabaho niya ay ipatuka ang mais sa mga manok.
🇺🇸 Every morning, his job is to have the corn pecked by the chickens.
