FIL: Isang pinong sapot na gawa ng gagamba, karaniwang matatagpuan sa mga sulok at lugar na bihirang linisin.
EN: cobweb, spiderweb
The official decoration of every haunted house and bodega. It's that sticky, dusty stuff in the corner that proves you haven't done general cleaning in ages. Finding an 'ulapot' in your room is a silent judgment from the universe (and from your mom) telling you to get the 'walis tingting'.
Origin unknown, possibly related to 'saput' (web).
Often used interchangeably with 'agiw', though 'agiw' can also specifically refer to soot.
