EN: to criticize each other
The main event in any political debate, family reunion, or toxic group project. It's a free-for-all of pointing fingers and throwing shade. Imagine a comment section on Facebook coming to life. It's not a one-way street; it's a chaotic intersection of accusations.
From 'batikos' (criticism). The '-an' suffix indicates a reciprocal action.
