That 'woke up like this' moment when 'this' is in a freezer. It's your body's natural reaction to seeing your ex with a new bae, the AC in the BPO office set to 'Antarctica', or a horror movie jump scare. It's the physical manifestation of 'OMG'.
From the prefix 'mang-' and the root 'kinig', meaning 'tremble' or 'shudder'.
