EN: unfocused
This is you after a 12-hour shift, staring blankly at the wall. It's when you open the fridge and forget what you were looking for. It's when your brain feels like it's just buffering. 'Sorry, anong tanong mo ulit? Medyo sabaw ako ngayon.' (Sorry, what was your question again? I'm a bit spaced out today.)
Metaphorical extension of 'sabaw' (broth), implying a watery, diluted, or empty state of mind.
A very common slang or colloquial term, especially among students and young professionals. Used to describe a temporary state of mental fatigue.
