dakdakan og sabado

== Cebuano == === Etymology === Literally, “a place to pound laundry on Saturdays”. From dakdakan (“a flat stone or board used for pounding clothes during washing”), from the root dakdak (“to pound; to slam down”) + og (“linker”) + Sabado (“Saturday”). === Pronunciation === Hyphenation: dak‧da‧kan‧og‧Sa‧ba‧do === Adjective === dakdakan og sabado (Badlit spelling ᜇᜃ᜔ᜇᜃᜈ᜔ ᜂᜄ᜔ ᜐᜊᜇᜓ) (idiomatic, derogatory, humorous) having a very flat face or facial profile; having a remarkably flat nose === Verb === dakdakan og sabado (Badlit spelling ᜇᜃ᜔ᜇᜃᜈ᜔ ᜂᜄ᜔ ᜐᜊᜇᜓ) (idiomatic, intransitive) (of a face) to become completely flat, often as a hyperbolic result of an impact or physical threat ==== Usage notes ==== In traditional Filipino culture, Saturday is the designated day for heavy household laundry. The dakdakan used on this day is typically a large, exceptionally flat stone by a river or well. The phrase is a humorous, highly hyperbolic insult comparing the flatness of the stone to a person's flat facial profile, particularly a flat nose. This phrase is heavily informal and is used almost exclusively in comedic, teasing, or lightly derogatory contexts among peers.
