EN: To cause to burst; to crack open
The verb for when you can't resist popping that pimple. It's the act of making something burst, usually something that's swollen or filled with pressure. 'Huwag mong puknatin 'yan, magkakapeklat ka!' is the classic line from your mom. Applies to boils, blisters, and other things you shouldn't be touching.
Almost exclusively used for popping pimples, boils, or blisters.
