Word USED Frequently BY Everyone
(noun) A notoriously difficult word to translate: an extreme desire to release, or act upon, a certain emotion; used exclusively in response to anger/irritation or cuteness. Causes of gigil include shameless politicians, an impacted wisdom tooth, a particularly swollen pimple, or a ridiculously cute baby. Depending on the context, the word appears as "nanggigigil," "nakakagigil," or "gigil na gigil."
