EN: to score zero, to flunk
The most dreaded thing for a student during an exam. It means you got a big, fat zero—shaped like an egg ('itlog'). "Kamusta exam mo?" "Wag mo nang tanungin, mukhang mangingitlog ako." It's the academic equivalent of a strikeout.
Slang term derived from 'itlog' (egg) due to its visual similarity to the number zero (0).
ROOT MEANING: egg
This is purely slang and used in informal, often academic or competitive, contexts. It is used as a verb to mean "to get a zero".
