EN: to curse, to berate, to scold
This is what happens when you cut someone off in traffic on EDSA, or when your nanay finds out you haven't washed the dishes. It's a verbal smackdown, a tirade of expletives. The goal is to make the other person feel as small as your sahod on the 29th of the month.
ROOT MEANING: to scold; to curse
This is derived from the root word 'mura' meaning 'curse'. It is a homonym of 'mumurahin' (cheap), which comes from a different root 'mura'.
