EN: to be raided; to be attacked
This is what happens to a villain's lair in an action movie. Or a refrigerator at 2 AM when you're hungry. It’s a sudden, forceful invasion. In the digital world, it's your social media account getting flooded with comments from a rival fanbase. It implies being overwhelmed by an aggressive force.
From `ma-` (potential verb prefix) + `salakay` ("attack, raid").
Often used in the context of military attacks, police raids, or even aggressive animal behavior.
