EN: to shred; to tear to pieces
This is what you do to an ex's photos after a bad breakup. It's not just 'punit' (tear), it's total annihilation. Think of a cat with a roll of toilet paper, or what a politician's reputation looks like after a scandal. It can be literal, like shredding documents, or figurative, like destroying someone's argument in a debate. *Luray-luray* means completely shredded.
Implies a more violent or thorough tearing than `punitin`. The state of being shredded is `luray`.
