EN: escape; loophole; a way through
'Lusot' is your magic word for getting out of trouble. Failed an exam? 'Baka may paraan para makalusot.' Stuck in traffic? 'Saan kaya may lusot dito?' It's the art of finding a loophole, a shortcut, or a way to squeeze through a tight spot, whether it's a physical space or a sticky situation with your boss. It's the official sport of the 'diskarte' masters.
Can be used literally (passing through a small opening) or figuratively (getting out of a problem). The verb form is 'lumusot'.
🇵🇭 Kahit na mahigpit ang mga tanod, nakahanap pa rin siya ng lusot.
