EN: to peck at repeatedly; to mob
This is what happens when you're the only one with chicharon in a group of hungry friends. They'll 'pupugin' you. It's also what chickens do to corn, or what chismosas do to a juicy piece of gossip—pecking at it until nothing is left.
Can be used literally for birds or figuratively for a group of people attacking one person (verbally or physically).
🇵🇭 Sinimulang pupugin ng mga manok ang natapong mais.

🇵🇭 Huwag kang mag-alala, hindi ka namin pupupugin ng tanong.
