EN: to philosophize (often sarcastically); to be a smart-aleck
This is what you do when your mom asks "Bakit 'di ka pa natutulog?" and you reply, "Ano po ba ang esensya ng tulog sa isang mundong hindi naman mapakali?" You're not really being deep; you're just being a 'pilosopo'. It's the national sport of teenagers and the bane of every parent's existence.
From Spanish "filósofo" (philosopher).
Almost always used with a negative or playful connotation, implying someone is being argumentative or facetious rather than genuinely philosophical.
