EN: to fan oneself
The human-powered aircon during a brownout or inside a non-airconditioned jeepney. It's an art form, from the subtle wrist-flick of a kolehiyala to the furious flapping of a tita sa palengke. The official gesture for "Ang init!"
Can also mean to fan someone else (`paypayan`). `Magpaypay` is reflexive (fanning oneself).
