EN: to wallow in mud; to trample in mud
This is what carabaos do for a living and what kids do for fun after a typhoon. It's the act of happily splashing, stomping, and generally making a mess in a muddy puddle. The sound 'pisak' even sounds like squishing mud. It's the opposite of being 'maarte' or prim and proper.
ROOT MEANING: flattened; squashed
Almost exclusively used in the context of mud or very wet, muddy ground.
