EN: fault-finding; carping; criticism
This is the national sport of some 'Marites' out there. It's when someone looks at your perfect selfie and the first thing they say is, "May dumi sa likod mo." It's the act of focusing on the one tiny flaw instead of the 99% that's good. The art of being a hater.
From "pintas" (flaw, criticism). The "pan-" prefix becomes "pam-" and the first syllable is reduplicated.
Usually implies negative, often petty, and unsolicited criticism.
🇵🇭 Walang katapusan ang pamimintas niya sa lahat ng ginagawa ko.
🇺🇸 His fault-finding of everything I do is endless.
🇵🇭 Sa halip na pamimintas, magbigay ka na lang ng mungkahi kung paano ito mapapabuti.
🇺🇸 Instead of criticism, just give a suggestion on how it can be improved.
