EN: to strike or cut with a bolo
What you do to the overgrown talahib in your backyard. In action movies, it's what the hero does to the villain's minions. 'Wag mo akong subukan, baka tabakin kita!' (Don't try me, or I might strike you with a bolo!) - usually said as a joke... hopefully.
ROOT MEANING: bolo; large knife; machete
A very direct and somewhat aggressive-sounding verb.
