This is your friend who says "Game!" to a beach trip, then cancels an hour before because they "don't feel like it." It's also the Wi-Fi signal that's super fast one minute and then suddenly dies in the middle of your Zoom presentation. It's the emotional rollercoaster of being "seen-zoned." Moody, unpredictable, inconsistent.
From `pa-` + reduplication of `sumpong` (tantrum, whim, mood swing).
Often used to describe a person's mood, a machine's performance, or even the weather. The spelling `pasumpung-sumpong` is a common variant.
