EN: To flick away, to whisk away
Think of how you'd flick a piece of lint off your crush's shirt, trying to be smooth but your hand is kinda shaky. Or when you're cleaning and you use a 'walis tingting' to get rid of dust bunnies. That light, flicking motion is 'pumispis'.
Often used for cleaning small particles like dust, lint, or crumbs.
