EN: to act like an animal, to be beastly
When someone cuts you off in traffic and you just want to go wild, that's the urge to **maghayop**. It's a very strong word, often used when someone is acting uncivilized, rude, or savage. 'Naghayop siya sa galit' means he went totally beast mode. It's the opposite of being a rational human being.
From Tagalog `mag-` (verb prefix) + `hayop` (animal).
ROOT MEANING: animal
A very strong and often negative term to describe behavior. Can be used to mean 'to curse' or 'to rage.'
