EN: tucked in (at the waist)
Think of it as the old-school Filipino way of 'concealed carry'. It's when you tuck something, usually a weapon like a bolo or a gun, into your waistband. Today, it’s more likely your phone or wallet when you have no pockets. "Naka-sukbit sa baywang" is the classic image of a Filipino action hero or a local tanod.
Often used in its affixed form "nakasukbit" (is tucked in).
