This is the action of sucking, usually through a straw. It’s what you do with your milk tea to get the boba, or when you're trying to get the last drops of your Coke. Figuratively, it’s related to 'sipsip', the act of a suck-up or brown-noser who tries to get ahead by flattering the boss. 'Sumupsop ng biyaya' means to greedily take in blessings or benefits.
ROOT MEANING: suck-up, sycophant
