peer agreement (net): +2
peer agreement (net): +2to take over Explanation: afaik there is no such figure of speech, idiom, or literary device that is even remotely similar to or related to "gustong ibulsa". the closest that I know of is related to billiards wherein "ibulsa" means "to shoot the ball in the pocket" i.e. to clinch the deal. thus in this case, it appears that the writer is being literal in the sense that 'X wants to pocket Y', meaning "to take possession", i.e. conquer or take over. this is the first time I've ever read about this word being used in this context. btw the Tagalog could use some improvements as well (analisis? Espiker?) hth |
