EN: to follow a trend
When you see everyone doing the latest TikTok dance, wearing the same style of pants, or using a new slang word, and you decide to join in, that's "makiuso". It's the fear of missing out (FOMO) in verb form. "Uy, milk tea na naman? Makiuso lang, besh?"
From "maki-" (social verb prefix) + "uso" (in trend, fashionable, from Spanish 'uso' meaning 'use').
Can be used neutrally, but sometimes carries a slightly negative connotation of being unoriginal or just a follower.
