FIL: Isang uri ng ayos ng buhok kung saan ang mahabang buhok ay tinitipon, iniikot, at itinatali sa likod o itaas ng ulo.
EN: hair bun
The official hairstyle for "I need to get things done." It's the look for studying for an exam, cleaning the house, or when it's just too hot in the Philippines (so, every day). A perfectly messy pusod is an art form. The higher the bun, the closer to finishing your deadlines.
Possibly a semantic extension of "pusod" (navel/center), as the hair is gathered to a central point. Pronunciation often differs from its homonym.
Pronunciation can distinguish this meaning from 'navel'. Stress is often on the second syllable for 'hair bun' (/pu-SOD/) and the first for 'navel' (/PU-sod/).
