FIL: Isang matinding pagbabanggaan o sagupaan ng dalawa o higit pang bagay; maaari ring tumukoy sa isang awayan o rambulan.
EN: collision; intense encounter; brawl
That moment when two jeepneys try to occupy the same space at the same time. Also, the epic showdown you see in action movies, or that intense argument between Marites and her rival chismosa. It's a clash, a bang, a full-on 'Here comes the boom!' moment.
From 'salpok' (to collide) + '-an' (locative/action suffix).
Salpukan emphasizes the intensity and impact of the collision or conflict, more so than the simpler 'banggaan'.
