to make a story short, i started calling a friend of mine bunbun(canto), and she started calling baboy... she's flip so im assuming its filipino


thx

It means youre cute, handsome, good looking, etc.

Basically cute and cuddly, of some sort

Means your a f@g joey!

It means pig. I don't think calling someone baboy is cute, you probably mean "chabuy" or something which means chubby-cute.
In Cebuano calling someone baboy is an insult, ej: "Oy baboy! Ayaw ug anhi dinhi kay gihikan ka sa imong bay nga 'pigpen'*"
Translation: Hey you pig! Don't come here because your from your house that's a pigsty.

* I forget how to say pigsty/pigpen in Cebuano.

LuvableMunchkin?! WHAT KINDA fu-kING NAME IS THAT


attention flip members.. this user is a LOSERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR





ps, thx for whoever replied

It depends on the way she called you..if she has a nice and light tone to it, then it's a way of having a liking to your chubby(piggy?) appearance and you are cute to her. Also, if she said it in a serious manner, then you're a greedy person.

Eh, that's what my sister often calls my dog. She keeps calling our dog "baboy" for no apparent reason, she was unaware for a bit that word is a Filipino word.

i dunno, its rarely in cebuano to call someone baboy and not ending up fighting. it always means dirty pig.

^^ It's really different here though. Call someone a baboy and you'll end up laughing at each other - if you're close to each other. It's because of the cultural difference we as a people have.

Baboy in the bicol region is a term for male infants.

Of course it depends who you call baboy. LOL. If you were messing around with like afamily member and you farted on him or something then he calls you "ang baboy mo naman!". That would be funny... Im sure cebuanos joke around too....

we dont use baboy, its reserved for insulting someone. we have other adjectives for that.... kalu-od, kahugawan, kabastos, ka wai batasan but kababoy?.

^

Kababoy - a really fat person who eats like a gigantic pig.

Cebuano's are known to be really good at insulting people. Well that's the case with all the girls in my family, they can yell at someone with pretty disgusting and funny things like comparing a face of a man to a toilet.

Baboy means pig.

It's only cute if she said it in a cute way. Lol.

Wait a minute...

Why is the title addressing Filipinos called flip? I really feel insulted to be called a Flip...It's sounds so stupid and if you live here, you'd not want to be called that. I'd rather have us named Pinoy because we made that name and not some American who thinks they can call us no matter what they want and get away with it.

the C*H*I*N*K* don't know better as...


OHHH thats really nice all the fu-kING insults that are laid on ASIANS here are filtered.

THANKS FOR THE RESPECT.

lol i didnt know you were filipino...

anyways, i thought it meant pig.

mawa?

It's not really considered offensive here. :/ Filipinos here don't get their panties in a bunch when they hear that word so obviously people are gonna keep saying it.

'fu-king Little Island People' is a backronym anyways. I bet some disgruntled Filipino invented it.

baboy literally is a pig
but figuratively it can mean u are messy or acting like a pig...


baboy...imagine BEP singing baboy instead of bebot...LOl...

It means you're ugly and fat.

lol...it means pig. Usually refering to appearance or dining manners. But i doubt you have any problems with those areas. But here me now, dont believe that it means cute and cudly LOL.

^^ It means cute and cuddly in my place. We got it thru stuff toyed pigs that are cute.

Yea, in my family, baboy means that you eat with your mouth open and when you're done eating, there's all this rice on your placemat and on your shirt. Hahah.

yeah like invented "leathernecks"

LOL wth does that one mean?

just off topic.

about the "flip" thing. i dunno some say the "f*cking little island people" was made up, some say its real. but BFD were all filipinos here. same way blacks can call each other niggas. but couldn't if u arent.

Denotation:pig
Conotes: your fat or chubby, ill mannered, glutonous, greedy, slob, promiscious,

Whoever gets offended by that is overreacting... The word flip has no history behind it, nigg*rs/niggas does... not comparable at all.. Flip is just short for filipino, you can make words that can work with it all day....

Tell that to the Filipinos here who seriously don't care.

flip can also be a slang to crazy or insane or stupid...
(but this is just a street thing)

i guess, before i'll be offended to be called flip but like iki, i think this is just a short term for a full "filipino" word

thought it was FUNNY LITTLE ISLAND PEOPLE

and waht is up with that in the US

they spell FILIPINOS with PHILIPINOS

wtf??

did they passed philippines in the map

They spell Filipino as "Philippino"? That's a bit awkward, probably only in America they use that becuase in Philippines they only thought us Filipino or Pilipino. But today it's officially spelled Filipino and Pilipinas is spelled Filipinas because Philippine orthography accepts Spanish spelling for Spanish origin words now. Example: teléfono, común, brillante, bajo, etc.

I feel like the Filipinos in Philippines are preserving their culture as Asian or Hispanic while the Fil-Ams are making it look like there Pacific Islanders or more "American". I mean our culture is Hispanic and Asian, so I think there denying it!

Baboy literally means "pig." However it is also being used to describe a person i.e. fat person (since baboy or pig has full of fat).


Anyways, the term "FLIP" was coined by American soldiers. When they are fighting the Filipinos during Philippine-American War, their commander would say "go after those fu**ing little island people" or the soldiers would say "I hate this place, and I hate these "fu**ing little island people".

The term was used also when the Americans was came to liberate the Philippines. Some say "You gotta respect these fu**ing little island people because they can fight." I believe they also use the term FLIP, when they are fighting the Japanese.

Why do Filipino-Americans promote such a disgusting acronym. "FLIPS"?

Just say Filipino!

Spanish sounds better.

Flip is short for filipino... then people started putting that little island people on it... You can change it to whatever you like... but flip itself is not a disgusting acronym...

fat...
untidy!!!
no manners...

people think there's no negative connotation to the word

unlike NI##a

YOU DON'T SEE Americans getting in trouble saying flip

but still, I don't like Americans sayinf flip

use the complete word FILIPINO damn it

LOL

yeah I've noticed that too
nowadys fil-ams tend to claim they're pacific islanders...

Some white boys in school who keep bullying me one time told me to go into the "flipmobile" and never come back. I was offended, but the teacher never believed me.

its from the Samar battle...its when the Marines couldn't defeat the Filipinos there. the "leather neck" was coined in that battle when there heads would get cut off in battle. so Marines who were scared wrapped their necks before going into battle. so for decades in the Marines if you where called a "leather neck" you where a technicality a pussy. and this is where FLIP was coined to and not WW2.

I'm pretty sure its PIG.

the word baboy could mean
pig :
para kang baboy (you're like a pig)

or dirty :
ang baboy ng itsura mo (you're disgusting)

gustmo kataying kita para baboy...

hehe.

it could be like:

"Hoy Baboy, tumigil ka dyan ha"

or something, maybe she got annoyed .... like a friendly banter

DIRTY !

lol sorry for whoever has offended by me using the term flip, no harm ment


AND DAMMIT, she's been calling me a pig the WHOLE TIME!

Finally you realize it....
The word for pig in Indonesian is "Babi".... similar no...? Baboy----Babi...
