EN: act of gnawing; munching noisily
You know that sound someone makes when they're eating chicharon or cornick? That's it. It's the sound of pure, crunchy enjoyment. It can also be what a dog does to a bone. It’s not a quiet, polite nibble; it's a full-on, noisy, satisfying gnaw.
From the onomatopoeic root "ngabngab", with the prefix "pag-" to form a noun.
ROOT MEANING: noisy chewing; gobbling
An onomatopoeic word, the sound mimics the action. Often implies a noisy or somewhat messy way of eating.
