EN: to hiss or whistle at each other (to get attention)
The group chat before group chats existed. It's the sound of multiple people going "Psst! Psst!" to each other across a classroom to pass a secret message, or what your titas do in the palengke to call each other without shouting. It's a symphony of subtle, attention-grabbing hisses.
The '-an' suffix implies a reciprocal or group action. The base verb 'sumitsit' is to hiss at one person.
