EN: dull-witted; slow-minded
This is what you feel after a 12-hour shift—your brain just refuses to brain. It's when someone tells a joke and you only get it three hours later. Often used as an insult ('Mapurol ka ba?') but also as a self-deprecating comment ('Sorry, mapurol ang isip ko ngayon, puyat'). It's the mental equivalent of a buffering YouTube video.
Almost always used with 'isip' or 'utak' (e.g., 'mapurol ang isip', 'mapurol ang utak'). Can be considered offensive.
🇵🇭 Huwag mo siyang tawaging mapurol ang isip, baka nahihirapan lang siyang umintindi.
