EN: a dud, a flop, a failed attempt
The sound your motivation makes when it hits the floor on a Monday morning. It's a combination of 'tapon' (throw) and 'bagsak' (fall/fail). When your brilliant idea in the meeting gets zero reaction? Tapsak.
Likely a portmanteau of 'tapon' (throw) and 'bagsak' (fall/fail), or onomatopoeic.
Highly informal. Used to describe a failure or a dud in a very casual, almost dismissive way. Can also be used as an adjective.
