The term has vague origins with many hypotheses regarding its origin. It is suggested that the term originates from the World War II era. The term was allegedly an acronym for "fucking little island people" causing some Filipinos to avoid referring to themselves by this term. However, the term is also being reclaimed by some by changing the alleged originally meaning of the word to "fine looking island people". Some are convinced that the term is just a short version of the term "Filipino".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://postcolonialstudies.emory.edu/filipino-american-literature/|title=Filipino American|publisher=Emory University Postcolonial Studies|accessdate=1 February 2015|quote=Since 1996, Deepika Bahri has created and maintained content for Postcolonial Studies @ Emory with her students.
