EN: to flirt; to act coquettishly
This is the act of being "pabebe" or "pa-cute" on purpose to get someone's attention. It's the extra sway in your walk, the batting of your eyelashes, the "ay, nahulog ko panyo ko" move from old movies. It’s flirting, but with a slightly more playful, sometimes theatrical, vibe.
ROOT MEANING: flirtatious; coquettish
Often carries a slightly negative or judgmental connotation, implying that the action is overly done or insincere.
