EN: idiot; stupid person; dullard
Sounds like its meaning. It’s that person who asks 'Bakit?' after you've explained something five times. More endearing than 'bobo,' but more insulting than 'tanga.' It's the kind of stupid that makes you shake your head with a sigh. 'Ang **tunggak**, iniwan bukas 'yung gate!'
An old-fashioned but still understood insult. It has a slightly more literary or formal feel than 'tanga' or 'bobo'. Can also be used as an adjective.
