EN: "jumping over thorns" (a traditional Filipino game)
Literally 'jump over thorns.' This is the game where you test your high-jump skills and your friendships. Your friends form a 'wall' with their hands and feet, and you have to clear it without touching them. The wall gets higher and higher, just like your credit card debt during a 12.12 sale.
From 'lukso' (jump) + 'na' (linker) + 'tinik' (thorn).
A popular traditional Filipino game (Laro ng Lahi).
