EN: to criticize; to attack (verbally)
This is the official sport of keyboard warriors and political commentators. It's when you don't just disagree, you write a whole thesis about why someone is wrong, usually with spicy language. Think of it as 'to roast,' but for a more formal, often political, audience. It's the 'cancel culture' verb before 'cancel culture' was a thing.
From `mang-` + `tuligsa`. The `ng` assimilates with `t`, becoming `n`.
ROOT MEANING: tirade; diatribe; severe criticism
Often used in the context of journalism, politics, or academic critique.
