EN: earwax
That yellowish gunk you discreetly try to remove from your ear when no one's looking. It's the main reason cotton buds were invented (even though doctors say you shouldn't use them for that). Having too much **tutuli** is why you "can't hear" your mom asking you to do chores. "Ano po? 'Di ko marinig, barado yata tenga ko!"
A common, non-technical term for cerumen.
