EN: venomous, poisonous
This is the ultimate 'toxic' descriptor, literally. For snakes, scorpions, and even your ex's words. If it can harm you with its bite or sting, it's makamandag. Think of it as the original 'red flag'.
From 'maka-' (having, possessing) + 'mandag' (venom).
Can be used literally for animals or metaphorically for people or words that are harmful.
