EN: a contest of weight/influence/seriousness
When a friendly competition turns into a serious showdown. It's a battle of egos, a test of who's got more clout, or literally, who's heavier. "Nag-umpisa sa biruan, nauwi sa pabigatan." It can be about who can drink more, who has a better job, or in traffic, which bus driver is more aggressive. It's when things get intense and someone's bound to get their feelings (or their bumper) hurt.
From `pa-` + `bigat` (weight) + `-an` (denoting interaction or location).
Can be literal (a contest of lifting weights) or, more commonly, figurative (a contest of power, influence, or severity). Also used adverbially.
