EN: shallowness, superficiality
When someone's life goals are just for the 'gram, or they only care about looks and clout. It's the "I-can't-even" attitude towards serious issues. Also, literally, it's the part of the swimming pool where you can stand up and not drown. So it can be a good thing, or a 'hugot' thing.
From `ka-` + `babaw` (shallow) + `-an` (suffix denoting quality).
Used both literally for physical depth (e.g., of water) and metaphorically for intellectual or emotional depth. The metaphorical sense is more common in everyday conversation.
