EN: to hit on the head
This is what happens when you make a corny joke and your friend gives you a 'batok.' To mang-ulo is to bonk someone on the head. It's a less formal, more physical way to express disapproval than a formal memo. Not to be confused with 'mangulo' (to lead). One gets you a promotion, the other gets you a complaint.
ROOT MEANING: head
The stress on 'U-lo' and the hyphen differentiates it in writing from 'ma-NGU-lo' (to lead). This action is often done in a playful, disciplinary, or aggressive manner.
