EN: to wallow
Think of a carabao chilling in a mud pit on a hot day. That's 'maglubalob' in its purest form. It's getting down and dirty, literally. Figuratively, it's what you do after a breakup: you 'maglubalob' in sadness, binge-watching sad movies with a gallon of ice cream. It's about immersing yourself completely in something, usually mud or misery.
mag- (verb prefix) + lubalob (wallow).
Strongly associated with carabaos (water buffaloes) and mud. The figurative sense of 'wallowing in self-pity' is also a common usage.
