EN: act of bailing out water; scooping out
This is the OG 'baha-proofing' technique before water pumps became a thing. When your bangka (boat) starts taking on water, or when your bathroom floods after a heavy rain, you grab a 'tabo' and start the frantic act of 'paglilimas'. It's a low-tech solution to a high-stress problem.
From `pag-` (gerund prefix) + reduplication of the first syllable `li-` + `limas` (to bail out water).
Often associated with boats, floods, or cleaning.
