EN: digging out, scooping out (with a finger or tool)
‘Yung ginagawa mo sa garapon ng peanut butter para makuha 'yung last bits. O 'yung pagkuha ng kulangot (let's be real). It's the act of digging into a nook or cranny to extract something. Can be satisfying or kinda gross, depending on the context.
From `pag-` (nominalizer) + `kulkol` (to dig out with a finger/tool).
ROOT MEANING: to dig into; to hoard
Often implies using fingers or a small, curved tool. It has a slightly more specific meaning than 'paghuhukay' (general digging).
