FIL: Mahirap nguyain, kagatin, o hiwain; matigas at makunat.
EN: tough (to chew); leathery; stiff
The ultimate disappointment at a fiesta or handaan. It's that piece of steak that feels like you're chewing on a leather shoe, or the 'liempo' that's more 'goma' (rubber) than pork. When you get a 'maganit' piece of meat, your jaw gets a full workout, and you start questioning the cook's life choices.
From Tagalog 'ma-' (adjective prefix) + 'ganit' (toughness, stiffness).
Primarily used to describe food, especially meat. It can also describe non-food items that are stiff or inflexible, like old leather.
