EN: Aphrodisiac
This is the 'talaba' (oysters), the dark chocolate, or the 'Fifty Shades of Grey' movie marathon. It's anything that supposedly gets you 'in the mood.' Often whispered about in markets ('Suki, bili ka nitong talaba, pampalibog!') and subject to much debate and placebo effect.
From 'pang-' (instrumental prefix) + 'pa-' (causative prefix) + 'libog' (lust, libido). Lit. 'that which is used to cause libido'.
The root word 'libog' is often considered vulgar or overly direct in polite conversation. 'Pampalibog' is used more clinically or jokingly.
🇵🇭 Sinasabing ang mga talaba ay isang mabisang pampalibog.
