gigil Growing up in Manila, my earliest memory of the Tagalog word gigil was on a visit to my auntâs house when I was around six or so. As I approached her to say hello, she grabbed my cheeks, pinching them so hard, and shrieking âgigilâ over and over. It still hurts my cheeks when I think about it. Gigil could be simply defined as a feeling of trembling or gritting of the teeth in response to a situation that overwhelms your self-control. A lot of Filipinos associate the word with a cute childâa child so cute that one must grit oneâs teeth to keep them from rearranging the childâs face.
