EN: to get a nosebleed
This is what literally happens when the weather is too hot or you get punched. Figuratively, it’s what happens to your brain when someone tries to explain cryptocurrency to you, or when your crush speaks to you in perfect English. "Nosebleed!"
From 'magka-' (to get/have) + 'balinguyngoy' (nosebleed).
ROOT MEANING: nosebleed
The word 'balinguyngoy' itself is less common in casual speech than the English loanword 'nosebleed,' which is often used colloquially for both the medical condition and the figurative expression of being overwhelmed by English.
