EN: ignition; act of showing off
This is what happens when someone suddenly flexes their new iPhone, their promotion, or their 'galing' sa basketball. It's the act of showing off, making a big scene, or literally starting a fire. Think of it as the 'pasabog' moment in a performance or a heated argument. 'Nagpapasiklab na naman si kumpare sa bagong kotse niya.'
From pag- (nominalizer) + pa- (causative prefix) + siklab (flare-up, outburst).
Can be used literally for starting a fire, or figuratively for showing off skills, anger, or creating a spectacle.
