EN: to shake off; to dust off
The command form of "pagpag." It's what your mom yells when you're about to sit on the new sofa with your dusty pants: "Pagpagin mo muna 'yan!" It's the act of shaking off dirt, bad vibes, or even leftover food from a takeout bag (if you're a scavenger). It's the universal Filipino gesture for "get the dirt off."
From `pagpag` + `-in`.
A command form. "Pagpag" also famously refers to leftover food scavenged from garbage, cleaned, and resold, though "pagpagin" as a verb more commonly means "to dust off."
