EN: hard up (for money), in a tight spot
It's petsa de peligro. Sweldo is a week away, your wallet has 100 pesos, and your friend invites you out for samgyupsal. You can't go because you're **nagigipit**. It’s the official state of being for many people from the 10th to the 14th, and the 25th to the 29th of the month.
Can be used as a verb ('nagigipit ako') or an adjective ('panahong nagigipit'). Primarily refers to financial difficulty but can also refer to being cornered or pressed for time.
