This is the verb form of your body's betrayal. When your leg seizes up, you say, 'Kinakalambre ako!' It's what happens to athletes in the fourth quarter or to you when you point your toes too hard while stretching in bed. It's the action of getting that dreaded muscle knot.
From Spanish 'calambre' + -hin suffix.
