EN: to deviate; to change the subject
Like when you're in a jeepney and the driver suddenly swerves to avoid a pothole, that's "maglihis." Or when your mom asks you "Nak, may jowa ka na ba?" and you suddenly talk about the weather—you're also doing this, but with the topic. It's the art of strategic evasion.
Can be used for physical movement or for conversation.
