EN: act of cursing at each other; exchange of curses
This is what you hear during intense traffic altercations, a heated online comments section, or when your favorite basketball team is losing badly. It's a verbal showdown where everyone's vocabulary suddenly consists of words your lola told you never to say. Not a good look, but definitely a common sound.
From the root "mura" (curse word), with the prefix "pag-", reduplication of the first syllable "mu-", and the suffix "-han" which indicates a reciprocal or collective action.
ROOT MEANING: to scold; to curse
The "-han" suffix is key here, implying that the cursing is mutual or happening between multiple people.
