Get the Piling it on mug.A unisex term referring to a person or persons of ethnic descent originating from the Republic of the Philippines.
Pilipino refers to a person born in the Philippines. Filipino refers to a person not born in the Philippines, but of Philippine ethnicity.
This delineation is due to the fact that there is no phonetic equivalent of the letter 'F' in any of the Philippine Islands’ indigenous languages. Spaniards who named the Philippine Islands after King Phillip II (Las Islas Filipinas) had such a sound in their language. The closest phonetic sound inhabitants in the Philippines could use was ‘P.’
Hence, people Philippine-born refer to themselves as Pilipino (they even write it as ‘Pilipino’), while those born outside the Philippines (e.g. the United States) refer to themselves as Filipino (or Filipino-American in the above case).

A word created by Andy Six (Andrew Dennis Biersack) of Black Veil Brides on 2/19/2011 when he hacked his bandmate's (Christian "CC" Coma) facebook and made the status "Palvis". The origin and meaning of the word is unknown, but it is inferred that it is magical and you can ride around it it. Others assume that Andy just meant to say Pelvis- those people have no humor.
