Etymology
From Insik (“Chinese”) + wakang (“ethnic slur expression used to tease Chinese”) + baboy (“pig”) + tikangkang (“to fall or lie down with the legs raised”).
Literally, “Chinese (laborer), pig (with) legs up in the air!”. Also rhyming as a doggerel. Likely used during the late 1800s in the Late Spanish Colonial Era in the Philippines, when opium dens were rampant and many overseas Chinese migrants worked as low-wage laborers. Compare with Cebuano Insik wakang, kaon, kalibang!, Tagalog Intsik beho, tulo laway!
