This is what your Tita calls you when you take the last piece of leche flan. It can range from playfully naughty ("Salbahe ka, inubos mo 'yung ulam!") to genuinely mean or cruel. It's the go-to word for villains in teleseryes and kids who won't behave.
From Spanish 'salvaje' (savage, wild).
The severity depends heavily on context and tone of voice.
