Demeter Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) The equivalent of Tampo in Cebuano is called "Pangluod." Examples: Nangluod ang asawa ni Mark kay nitan-aw siya sa babayi nga gwapa.

Art2ro Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Tampo can escalate into something worst if it lingers for too long or when one of you don't have the patience for it to die down!
