hingaon og nangka

== Cebuano == === Etymology === Literally, “fond of eating jackfruit”. From hingaon (“fond of eating”) + og (“object marker”) + nangka (“jackfruit”). === Noun === hingaon og nangka (Badlit spelling ᜑᜒᜅᜂᜈ᜔ ᜂᜄ᜔ ᜈᜅ᜔ᜃ) (idiomatic) A person who is too shy, nervous, or tongue-tied to approach or speak to someone they have romantic feelings for; someone who has absolutely no "game" in courting. Synonyms: bugnaw og simod, bugto tina ==== Usage notes ==== The idiom is a metaphor derived from the incredibly sticky latex or sap (tagok) of the raw jackfruit. A person who eats a lot of jackfruit would have their lips physically glued shut by the sap, perfectly describing someone who becomes utterly speechless and tongue-tied when placed in front of their romantic interest. While synonymous with bugnaw og simod, the two highlight different aspects of romantic shyness. Bugnaw og simod (cold snout) implies a lack of aggressive "hunter's instinct" to pursue, whereas hingaon og nangka specifically mocks the physical inability to speak when the opportunity arises.
