EN: to pretend not to notice
The ultimate "snub" move. When you see your ex at the mall and you suddenly become intensely interested in the floor tiles. Or when a client you're avoiding calls and you stare at your phone until it stops ringing. That's you trying to magkunwang di-pansin. The art of strategic ignorance.
From `magkunwari` (to pretend) + `na` (that) (contracted to -ng) + `di` (not) + `pansin` (notice).
A very common and specific phrase describing a social action.
