Malupit could be directly translated as “cruel”. It could also be described as someone who is “heartless”, “mean”, “inhumane”, or “brutal”. However, despite its derogatory translation, Filipinos have also translated the word into something more positive with the slang “malupet”.
This word means that somebody is extremely talented or skilled in something. Often times you would hear people say “Ang lupet!”. In English, this could be roughly translated as “That was sick!”.
