EN: Hanger-on; someone implicated
This is when you're 'damay' in a problem you didn't necessarily start. As a person, a 'sabit' is that friend-of-a-friend who always shows up to the party uninvited and eats all the lumpia. The ultimate freeloader or someone implicated in a scandal.
The pronunciation often shifts to /sa-BIT/ to distinguish it from the 'hanging' meaning (/SA-bit/). When used for a person, it is derogatory.
