FIL: (Balbal) Ang pagiging isang pulis o pagkilos na tila isang pulis, lalo na sa pag-uutos o pagpapakita ng awtoridad.
EN: (slang) became a cop; acted like a cop
When your friend who just became a security guard starts acting all high and mighty, telling everyone what to do. 'Uy, 'wag kang pumarak diyan!' It's when someone starts flexing an authority they may or may not actually have, like a self-appointed hall monitor in life.
From the reversed syllables of 'kapar' which is a clipped form of 'kapartner' (partner), a term used by police. Or from 'pulis' itself undergoing linguistic transformation.
This is a slang term and is informal. 'Parak' itself is slang for a police officer.
