babi (Jawi spelling بابي, plural babi-babi or babi2)
pig (mammal of genus Sus)
Synonyms: khinzir, (Sarawak) kambing batu
(derogatory, offensive) contemptible person
Coordinate term: anjing
==== Usage notes ====
The word babi happens to be popularly used as an insult and is very offensive, so it is occasionally replaced by khinzir (or kambing batu in Sarawak) when talking about the animal. This is because pigs are unclean animals in Islam, Malaysia's national religion and the traditional religion of the Malays.
