EN: to cause someone to curse at you; to provoke cursing
This is when you do something so annoying, so infuriating, that the only logical response from the other person is a string of curses. Cutting someone off in traffic, spoiling the latest movie, or telling your mom you lost the Tupperware she lent you—all excellent ways to 'magpamura'. You're basically asking for it.
From magpa- (causative prefix) + mura (curse word).
ROOT MEANING: to scold; to curse
Distinct from 'magmura' (to curse) and the adjective 'mura' (cheap). This verb implies you are the target or cause of the cursing.
