This is the state of your wallet after a 12.12 sale. It's your brain cells after a week of overtime. It's that favorite t-shirt that's now more holes than fabric. 'Pukâ' means something has been thoroughly used, beaten down, or wiped out. 'Pukâ na ang mga manok dahil sa peste' (The chickens were decimated by the pest).
The stress on the second syllable ('-kâ') is crucial to differentiate it from 'puka' shell.
