Pislogás

Pislogás is a term derived from the Hungarian word for blinking. In a broader sense, it can refer to any brief, flickering, or intermittent light. This phenomenon is commonly observed in nature, such as the twinkling of stars or the bioluminescence of certain organisms. In technology, pislogás can describe the erratic behavior of a malfunctioning light bulb or a flickering display screen. It can also be used metaphorically to denote something ephemeral or short-lived. The word is not widely recognized outside of Hungarian linguistic contexts, and when used in English, it is typically as a direct translation or a loanword to describe this specific type of intermittent visual effect. The underlying cause of pislogás can range from atmospheric conditions for celestial bodies to electrical issues in artificial lighting.
