EN: sudden jerk
That involuntary jump you do when someone sneaks up behind you and shouts "BOO!" Or when you're half-asleep and you suddenly feel like you're falling. "Nagulat ako, grabe ang pitlag ko!" It's your body's built-in alarm system going haywire for a split second.
Can also be used as a verb 'pumitlag' (to flinch).
