EN: bow-legged
An old-school word for being bow-legged, or 'sakang'. It's that cowboy-like stance where your knees refuse to meet. You don't hear this word much anymore; people usually just say `sakang`. If you use `pilipot` in a conversation today, your friends might ask if you time-traveled from the Spanish era.
Unknown. Possibly related to `pilipit` (twisted).
This is a rare and somewhat archaic term. The more common and neutral word is 'sakang'.
