Definition Does this word exist

8 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I've been hearing this word ever since I was a kid and it was always used to mean going to beat up. The word is "Balumbugin/Balugbugin". Here's an example sentence:

'Wag ka makulit; balumbugin talaga kita!"

Does anyone know if this word exists, or if it's even used correctly? I searched the word balugbug online but it doesn't mention beating someone up. Thanks!
