EN: to give a noogie, to hit with the knuckles
This is the punishment your playmate gave you when you lost at a game of pogs or any other game in the 90s. It's that painful but funny grinding of knuckles on your head. The ultimate Pinoy childhood 'punishment.' In English, it's called a 'noogie.' 'One more tease, and I'll **give you a noogie**!'
Origin is uncertain. Possibly from 'korona' (crown) referring to the crown of the head, or a playful corruption. The meaning 'noogie' is very specific in Philippine context.
A colloquial term, very common in childhood games and friendly roughhousing.
