FIL: (Kolokyal) Ang mabilis na pag-alis o pagtakas mula sa isang lugar.
EN: to flee, to scram
This is Pinoy slang for 'I'm outta here!' It's when you need to make a quick exit. 'Uy, andyan na si boss, sibat na tayo!' (Hey, the boss is here, let's scram!). It’s the action you take to avoid getting caught, whether it's by your parents after curfew or by your TL for taking too long on your break.
A modern slang term, likely from the early 2000s, derived from the noun 'sibat' (spear), implying a swift, direct movement away from something.
Highly colloquial and used in informal settings.
