FIL: Isang taong mayabang, mapusok, at laging naghahanap ng away; maton.
EN: bully, tough guy, hothead
The 'siga-siga sa kanto' is a classic Pinoy character. He's the guy who walks around like he owns the place, maybe has a toothpick in his mouth, and thinks a loud voice wins every argument. Every barangay, classroom, and even office has one. He's one 'Ano, tinitingin-tingin mo diyan?' away from starting trouble.
Often carries a negative connotation of being an arrogant troublemaker.
