This is the official verb of 'mema' culture and online bashers. When someone leaves a nasty comment on your post, they lumait. When your tita asks why you're still single during a family reunion, she lumait. It's looking down on someone, making them feel small. The OG form of cyberbullying before we had a word for it.
From `lait` (insult, mockery) + the infix `-um-`.
A strong word for verbal abuse or degradation. Carries a heavy negative connotation.
