EN: to squeeze in, to cram
The official verb of riding the MRT/LRT during rush hour. It's the art of making yourself fit into a space that logically shouldn't fit another human being. Also applies to finding that one last spot in the jeepney or trying to fit all your 'pasalubong' into an already full luggage. The motto is: 'Kahit masikip, kakasya 'yan!'
ROOT MEANING: stuffing, packing material
Can be used for people, objects, or even abstract ideas (e.g., squeezing information into one's brain).
