EN: leg cramp; muscle cramp
That sudden, evil pain in your leg, usually in the middle of the night, that makes you scream and question all your life choices. It's the universe's way of saying, "Hoy, uminom ka ng tubig at kumain ng saging!" That's pulikat. The mortal enemy of swimmers and sleepy people.
While it can refer to any muscle cramp, it's most commonly associated with leg cramps.
