FIL: Ang pagkalat o pagtalsik ng likido o maliliit na bagay nang walang tiyak na direksyon.
EN: splash; scatter
Imagine a jeepney speeding through a puddle on a rainy day—that's saboy. Or when a priest blesses the crowd with holy water. It's also what happens when you try to eat 'sinigang' too fast and the soup goes everywhere. A controlled mess, sometimes.
Often used as a verb root: 'sumaboy' (to splash), 'isaboy' (to scatter something).
