EN: to scrape clean, to use up completely
That move you make with the spoon to get the very last bit of condensed milk from the can. It's scraping the 'tutong' from the rice cooker because that's the best part. On a sadder note, it's what happens to your sahod by the 14th and 29th of the month—na-simot na, ubos na. Leaving no crumbs, literally and financially.
ROOT MEANING: used up, wiped out
Implies thoroughness in taking or consuming everything, leaving nothing behind.
