FIL: Isang gawain na walang kabuluhan, puno ng kalokohan, o kawalang-hiyaan.
EN: foolishness, shenanigan, tomfoolery
This is the mother of all 'kalokohan'. It's not just simple naughtiness; it's next-level foolishness, often with a hint of being an asshole. Think pranks that go too far, office gossip that ruins careers, or politicians' promises. That's katarantaduhan. It’s the stuff that makes your parents or your boss shake their head and say 'Ano na namang katarantaduhan 'to?!'
From the Spanish-derived curse word `tarantado` (stupid, jerk) + `ka-` and `-an` affixes to form a noun describing the act or quality.
ROOT MEANING: foolish, idiotic, jerk
A strong, informal, and mildly vulgar word. Not typically used in polite or formal company.
