nosebleeding
Bleeding from nostrils
Nosebleeding is the act or condition of bleeding from the nose.
Beyond the literal medical sense, nosebleeding appears in Filipino slang to describe the mental strain of processing difficult English or complex information: That lecture gave me a nosebleed.
The image suggests intellectual effort so intense it causes physical symptoms.
