/ka-pal-LU-pa/
FIL: Tumutukoy sa isang taong walang hiya, makapal ang mukha, at hindi tinatablan ng panunumbat o kritisismo.
EN: shameless, thick-skinned
This is a level-up from "makapal ang mukha". It's for that person who has the audacity of a cockroach surviving a nuclear blast. They'll borrow money and never pay, cut in line at the MRT, and still have the nerve to ask you for another favor with a smile. Their face isn't just thick, it's as thick as the earth's crust.
Compound word from 'kapal' (thick) and 'lupa' (earth, soil).
A very strong and insulting term. Use with caution.

🇵🇭 Talagang kapal-lupa ang taong iyon, siya na ang may utang, siya pa ang galit.
🇺🇸 That person is truly shameless; they're the one in debt, yet they're the one who's angry.
🇵🇭 Huwag kang maging kapal-lupa at akuin mo ang iyong pagkakamali.
🇺🇸 Don't be thick-skinned and own up to your mistake.
