EN: to fool one another; to mess with each other
This is 'lokohan' level 99. It's when two people are playing mind games, leading each other on, and generally just making fools of each other. It's the official verb for a toxic situationship. 'Huy, tama na 'yang **maggagu-gaguhan** niyo. Mag-usap kayo nang diretso.' It implies a mutual, and often chaotic, deception.
From 'mag-' + reduplication of 'gago' + '-han' suffix, indicating a reciprocal or repeated action.
ROOT MEANING: stupid, idiotic, foolish
A very informal and somewhat vulgar term. Use with caution among friends, but not in formal settings.
🇵🇭 Tigilan na natin ang maggagu-gaguhan at aminin na natin ang totoo.
🇺🇸 Let's stop fooling each other and just admit the truth.
🇵🇭 Awat na sa maggagu-gaguhan, pareho lang tayong masasaktan.
