EN: sudden burst of dense smoke or dust
Imagine you're cooking adobo and you forget about it, then you open the lid and *whoosh*—that's sigabo. It’s that sudden, dramatic burst of smoke, dust, or even applause. It's the 'grand entrance' of non-solid things. Parang usok from a vlogger's vape trick competition.
Often used to describe smoke, dust, or a sudden gust of wind. Can also be used figuratively for a burst of applause or cheers.
