EN: to run amok; to fight wildly
Ever seen someone lose it completely in traffic and just start a fight with everyone? That's it. It's going berserk. The kind of chaos you see in movies when one hero decides to take on a hundred enemies at once. Not your typical 'away-kalye', this is a full-on, uncontrolled rampage.
From Malay 'amuk', meaning "uncontrollable rage". This is the origin of the English word "amok".
A very strong word, implying a loss of control and violent rage.
