EN: to fall flat on one's face; to trip and fall forward
That clumsy moment when you're walking confidently, maybe checking your phone, and suddenly you're kissing the pavement. It's the 'epic fail' of walking. Everyone has a matuwad story, usually involving a perfectly smooth floor and zero obstacles.
From ma- (involuntary action prefix) + tuwad (to bend over with buttocks up, but in this context, implies falling forward).
Describes an involuntary, often embarrassing, forward fall.
