EN: to throw something at each other; to pass blame
This is a food fight, but with anything. Or more commonly, a blame game. When a group project fails, the "itsahan ng sisi" begins. "Hindi ako! Siya 'yun!" "Sabi niya tapos na 'yung part niya!" It's the corporate version of "turo-turo," where everyone points fingers until the manager gets tired.
itsa + -han (locative/reciprocal suffix)
