EN: A bombshell; a big reveal
The showbiz and social media term for a "bombshell" or "big reveal." It's not a literal explosion, but an emotional or social one. A celebrity announcing a secret wedding? That's a pasabog. Your friend arriving at the reunion in a glow-up transformation? Pasabog! It's anything done for maximum shock and awe.
From `pa-` (causative) + `sabog` (explode, scatter). The literal meaning is "something made to explode".
ROOT MEANING: Scattered; dispersed; exploded
While it can mean a literal explosive device, it's more commonly used in its slang meaning in modern conversation.
