EN: to force one's way through, to muscle through
The move you have to pull in Divisoria during the Christmas season. It's maneuvering through a crowd like you're playing a real-life video game, using your elbows and a lot of "excuse me po" (or not). It's the opposite of social distancing.
Usually used in its conjugated forms like 'pumuspas' (past tense), 'pumupuspas' (present tense), or as a root in commands.
