EN: to fluster, to rattle, to confuse
This is what happens when your boss asks for a report "ASAP," your crush suddenly messages you "we need to talk," and your internet dies all at the same time. You get flustered. 'Tarantahin' is the act of *causing* that panic. It's the favorite tactic of terror profs during oral exams. "Huwag mo akong tarantahin!" is the battle cry of someone trying to keep their cool.
Mula sa salitang "taranta" na hango sa Espanyol na "atarantar" (to daze or stun).
Often used in the imperative form "Huwag mo akong tarantahin" (Don't fluster me).
