EN: to wander, to roam
Remember in high school when you and your barkada would just walk around the mall with no money and no plans? That's lumaboy. It's what 'askals' (aso-kalye) do. It's the act of wandering aimlessly, like when you're avoiding going home because you haven't done your chores yet. "Saan ka na naman galing? Lumaboy ka na naman, ano?" - a classic nanay line.
From the root 'laboy' (wandering) with the infix '-um-'.
This is the actor-focus past tense form (naganap). Often has a slightly negative connotation of aimlessness or loitering.
