EN: Lice-infested
The ultimate playground horror story for any Filipino kid. If your head was itchy, your mom would threaten you with a suyod (fine-toothed comb) because you might be 'kutunan'. It's a low-key insult you throw at someone with messy hair, even as a joke.
From "kuto" (louse) + "-an" (suffix indicating a place or abundance).
Can be used as a noun (a lice-infested person/head) or an adjective (lice-infested).
