EN: to pull the ear
The OG Pinoy punishment. Before time-outs and heart-to-heart talks, there was the `pingot`. One swift pull of the ear from your mom was enough to debug any childhood misbehavior. It's a sign of tough love, a physical reminder that "Makikinig ka na sa susunod, ha?" (You'll listen next time, okay?).
The common verb form is `pingutin`. `Piningot` is the past tense.
