EN: to exchange criticisms; to engage in a heated debate
This is 'makipagtalo' on steroids. It's not just a simple argument; it's a full-blown war of words, often public and very heated. Think of politicians blaming each other on TV, or rival fandoms attacking each other on Twitter. It's a verbal mud-slinging contest.
From makipag- + tuligsa + -an. 'Tuligsa' means 'to denounce' or 'to attack verbally'.
ROOT MEANING: tirade; diatribe; severe criticism
Stronger and more aggressive than 'makipagtalo'. It implies mutual, often public, denunciation and accusation.
