FIL: Ang mabilis, malakas, at madalas ay maingay na pag-inom ng anumang likido, karaniwan sa isang lagukan.
EN: to gulp; to guzzle; to chug
This isn't just 'inom' (to drink). This is drinking on beast mode. It’s that sound you make when you're super thirsty and you **laklak** a whole bottle of water in 5 seconds. Or when your 'tito' at the fiesta starts to **laklak** the Emperador like it's a juice box. It's aggressive, no-nonsense drinking.
Often used informally to describe drinking a lot, especially alcohol, in a short amount of time. It has an onomatopoeic quality, mimicking the sound of gulping.
