EN: Popcorn vendor
The original OG of movie night snacks. Before your microwave popcorn existed, the `magbubusa` was the one making that irresistible smell of toasted corn waft through the plaza or outside the movie theater. They're the masters of the giant wok, shaking it like they're mixing a potion for ultimate happiness.
From `mag-` (prefix indicating actor/doer) + `bu-` (repetition of the first syllable of the root for actor) + `busa` (to pop corn).
This term is specific and not as common now with commercial popcorn brands, but people will know it, especially in provincial settings or during fiestas.
🇵🇭 Bumili tayo ng popcorn sa magbubusa bago magsimula ang parada.
