EN: to lie around lazily; to lounge about
This is the official sport of the weekend. It's when you just lie on the sofa, bed, or floor, scrolling through your phone, binge-watching a series, and generally just existing. No ambitions, no plans, just pure, unadulterated 'tamad mode.' Your body is in a state of 'ayaw ko muna gumalaw, please.'
From `magpa-` + reduplication of `hilata` (lying down sprawled). The `hila-hilata` form emphasizes the continuous, lazy nature of the action.
Carries a strong connotation of laziness or idleness.
