EN: to have one's ear pulled; to get one's ear twisted
The OG Filipino disciplinary action, pre-palo and pre-sinturon. This is what happens when your nanay or lola catches you stealing a piece of fried chicken before dinner. It's a quick, sharp reminder of who's boss. "Isa pang 'di pag-uwi nang maaga, mapipingol ka sa akin!"
From ma- (potential/involuntary action prefix) + pingol (act of pulling the ear).
