EN: pig farmer; piggery
Literally, someone who raises pigs. Calling someone this can be a bit tricky. In a rural context, it's a respectable job. In a city context, if you say 'Ang kalat mo, para kang **magbabuyan**,' you're probably talking about their messy room, not their career choice.
ROOT MEANING: pig, pork
Can refer to the person (pig farmer) or the place (piggery). Context is key.
