EN: to be swallowed, to be engulfed
Literally, this is what you do with food or medicine. But figuratively, it's what happens when you're drowning in debt, swamped with work, or overwhelmed by your feelings for your "situationship". "Nalululon ako sa trabaho" is the BPO agent's mantra during peak season. You're being engulfed by something much bigger than you.
Can be used literally for swallowing or figuratively for being overwhelmed by a situation, system, or emotion.
