FIL: Ang pagnguya nang may malakas na tunog, o ang paulit-ulit na pagkagat sa isang bagay na matigas.
EN: to chew noisily, to gnaw
The sound your seatmate makes when they eat chicharon inside a quiet bus. It's the sound of a dog enjoying a bone. It's that specific, kinda annoying, crunchy sound of someone really going to town on their food. If you've ever been triggered by someone eating loudly, they were probably 'nagngangolot'.
ROOT MEANING: calloused, hardened
Often has a slightly negative or descriptive connotation due to the noise. Can also mean to gnaw on something, like an animal does.
