EN: prone to mosquito bites; a place with many mosquitoes
If you're the designated pulutan of mosquitoes in your barkada, you are 'lamukin'. You're the person who gets 10 bites while everyone else gets zero. It's also used for places, like that one friend's house near a canal that's basically the lamok version of a 5-star buffet.
From 'lamok' (mosquito) + '-in' suffix.
ROOT MEANING: mosquito
Can describe a person ('sweet-blooded') or a place (infested with mosquitoes).
