EN: to pierce; to skewer
The official action for making street food. It's what you do to fishballs, kikiam, and squidballs before drowning them in sweet and spicy sauce. You take a bamboo stick and you 'magtusok' like your life depends on it. Also, what happens when you accidentally sit on a thumbtack.
ROOT MEANING: pierce, prick, puncture
Differentiated from 'magturok' which is almost always about injections. 'Magtusok' is for more general piercing or skewering, especially with food.
