Firang
Firang or farang or farangi is a term linked to the Franks, used in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia to refer to any Westerner, particularly a white person. It was originally used to refer to foreigners, and was later thought to have been used as a contemptible term for British officers and gentry in India. Today it is used commonly to refer to any Westerner in casual conversations, akin to 'gaijin' in Japanese. (See farangi and farang).
