FIL: Isang umiikot na paggalaw ng hangin, tubig, o maging ng buhok na nagtatagpo sa isang sentro.
EN: Whirl; vortex; whorl; cowlick.
It's the universe hitting the 'swirl' filter. You see it in your coffee when you stir it, in the water going down the drain, and in that one stubborn patch of hair that refuses to cooperate (that's a cowlick, or 'puyo sa buhok'). The most epic version is the 'puyo ng bagyo' (eye of the storm), the calm, deadly center of chaos—much like the HR department during bonus season.
Commonly found in phrases like 'puyo ng bagyo' (eye of the storm), 'puyo ng tubig' (whirlpool), or 'puyo sa buhok' (cowlick/hair whorl).
🇵🇭 Ang mata ng bagyo, o puyo, ay ang pinakalmadong bahagi nito.
🇺🇸 The eye of the storm, or its vortex, is its calmest part.
🇵🇭 Mag-ingat ka sa malakas na puyo ng tubig sa ilog.
