EN: To talk animatedly (and spit while doing so)
We all have that one tito or tita. When they get super passionate about a topic—whether it's politics, sports, or the latest chismis—they talk so fast and so loud that you need a tiny umbrella. It's not just talking, it's a performance with special effects (i.e., saliva spray). When someone is 'sabog ang laway', you listen with your ears and dodge with your face.
Literally means 'scattered saliva'.
A very descriptive and somewhat humorous idiom. Used to describe someone in a heightened emotional state of speaking.
