In addition, the person may have a tendency to call other people user (exploiter), even though they may not be, to emphasize his dislike for stealing other persons' intellectual work. 3. revolting person with an equally revolting partner: a highly dislikable person, when it comes to both looks and atitude, who has an equally repulsive boyfriend/ girlfriend who looks like a pre-evolved human (i.e., looks like the missing link between humans and other primates) origin: a portmanteau of the Filipino words "bakla" (a homosexual male) and "shokoy" (an ugly mythical underwater creature fromthe Philippines) Disclaimer: Part of the origin of the word being defined is "bakla", the Filipino word for gay man, but in NO WAY does this suggest that any gay person is necessarily a bakoy. The pronoun "he" is consistenly used in the definitions, but the word can equally be used to a person of any sexual preference.
