EN: despicable, ridiculous, contemptible
This is the feeling you get when someone does something so unbelievably shameless or stupid, you don't know whether to laugh or get angry. It's the 'facepalm' level of ridiculous. Think of a politician promising no traffic in EDSA or your ex trying to slide back into your DMs after ghosting you. That action is kakutya-kutya.
From `kutya` (mockery, ridicule), reduplicated with the `ka-` prefix to intensify the quality.
The reduplication `kutya-kutya` intensifies the meaning, making it stronger than just `nakakakutya` (ridiculous).
