EN: a flick or graceful curve (of the wrist/fingers); a lash
This is the graceful flick of the wrist in traditional Filipino dance. The 'angas' in how a 'bad-ass' character flicks a cigarette. It's a movement with attitude and finesse. It can also mean the sting of a whip or a sharp, witty comeback (a verbal lash). Parang 'Barda Queen' move.
Can refer to both the motion and the impact/mark left by the motion.
