EN: to take one's time intentionally; to delay
This is you when your boss gives you a task at 4:55 PM on a Friday. You magpakaluwat so you can officially clock out before you even have to start. Also applies to finishing the last piece of pizza to see who gives in first.
From the prefix `magpaka-` (to deliberately cause oneself to be) and the root `luwat` (slowness, long time).
