EN: chin rest; anything used to support the chin
That classic 'bored in a meeting' or 'daydreaming in class' pose where you prop your chin on your hand. Your hand, in that moment, is your 'salumbaba'. It's the physical manifestation of 'Sana Biyernes na' or deep in thought about your life choices.
A combination of `salo` (to catch, to support) + `baba` (chin).
ROOT MEANING: chin
Can refer to the object used for support or the action itself (pag-salumbaba).
