EN: to be cursed at, to be scolded harshly
This is what happens when you cut someone off in traffic, forget to do a chore your mom asked you to do three times, or post a 'hot take' on Twitter. It's the verbal equivalent of getting smacked. You get on the receiving end of a very colorful vocabulary lesson.
Mula sa unlaping pandiwang 'ma-' (na nagsasaad ng di-sinasadyang karanasan) at ang salitang ugat na 'mura' (curse word).
ROOT MEANING: to scold; to curse
