EN: skeleton
This is the ultimate 'body reveal' after everything else is gone. It's what's left when you've given your all to your work, your love life, or just trying to survive EDSA traffic. 'Yung totoo, after this deadline, kalansay na lang ako.' Also, the star of every Halloween party and science class.
Uncertain origin, but likely a native Austronesian term for a skeletal frame.
Can be used literally for a biological skeleton or figuratively for the framework of something (e.g., 'kalansay ng gusali').
