EN: to loiter; to hesitate; to dawdle
That feeling when you want to go home from a party but you also want to wait for your crush to notice you. So you just **magpaulik-ulik** near the food table, pretending to look for something. It's the art of lingering with questionable purpose. Also, what you do in the mall when you're waiting for your friend who is always late.
From `magpa-` prefix + `ulik-ulik` (loitering, hesitating). The root itself is a reduplication.
Implies indecisiveness, hesitation, or aimless wandering in a specific area.
