FIL: Pagiging agresibo, mapusok, o walang pakundangan sa pagkilos, lalo na sa pagkain o pag-atake.
EN: aggressive, voracious
This is how you describe someone who attacks a buffet table like there's no tomorrow. 'Grabe, ang sibasib niya kumain!' It's that 'patay-gutom' level of eating or that overly aggressive way of tackling a project. It's a mix of eagerness and recklessness. No chill, just pure, unadulterated 'go for it' energy.
Likely onomatopoeic, mimicking a sound of vigorous action.
Often used with 'kumain' (to eat) to describe someone eating voraciously. Can also describe a person's aggressive nature.
