EN: to be in a tight spot; to be short of money
That feeling when your wallet has more pictures than cash. It's the "petsa de peligro" mood, where your instant noodle supply becomes your best friend. Also applies to being cornered in an argument or literally stuck in a tight space like an MRT during rush hour.
From "ma-" (stative prefix) + "gipit" (tightness, scarcity).
Most commonly used for financial hardship, but can also refer to any difficult or constrained situation.
