EN: Crookedness; corruption
This is the reason why you can't have nice things. It's the crooked logic used to justify corruption, the twisted reasoning behind a bad decision, or literally a road so poorly made it looks like a snake. It's the moral 'baluktot' (bent) state of a system or a person who chooses the wrong path even when the straight one is right there.
From 'baluktot' (crooked, bent, twisted).
Can be used literally for physical crookedness but is more often used metaphorically for moral or ethical corruption.
