quoted kkisser
"the term "Flip" was coined by young Filipinos who were born and raised abroad, mostly in the U.S. ( I guess they didn't know any better). But in the Philippines, the term "Flip" is considered derogatory, not because it is racist, but because in the Filipino colloquial vocabulary, the word "Flip" refers to a deranged or Psychotic person(i.e. he flipped out or he's flipped his wig). So in the Philippines, calling a Filipino "Flip" would be like calling someone a "Nutjob" or a "Psycho". If you want to refer to Filipinos in an abbreviated form, then "Pinoy" is the accepted term."
