EN: temptation
It's that one slice of lechon staring at you when you're on a diet. It's the 'add to cart' button during the 12.12 sale. It's your friend messaging 'shot puno?' on a Wednesday night. Anything that tests your self-control is a pantukso. The devil on your shoulder probably uses this a lot.
