EN: the act of resting one's chin on the hand
The official pose of someone "in deep thought" (or deeply bored in a Zoom meeting). It's the "thinking man" statue pose you do when you're actually just thinking about what to eat for lunch. Can also be a sign of "hugot" or deep sadness.
From `pang-` + `(ka)lumbaba`, which is a portmanteau of `kamay` (hand) and `baba` (chin).
