EN: to clench; to press firmly together
This is the physical manifestation of 'pigil na galit' or trying not to cry. It's the action you do when your boss gives you more work at 5 PM on a Friday. You **clench** your jaw, smile, and say 'Okay po,' but your jaw is telling the real story.
From 'tiim' (clenched, pressed firmly).
Often used with a body part, such as 'magtiim ng bagang' (to clench one's jaw), 'magtiim ng kamao' (to clench one's fist), or 'magtiim ng labi' (to press one's lips together).
