Little brown fucking machine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Little Brown Fucking Machine, or "LBFM", is a derogatory slang term for a Filipino woman considered primarily or exclusively as a sex object.^[1] The term originally described the local women that worked the bars and brothels around the United States Navy and United States Air Force bases in the Manila area during the Vietnam War.^{[citation needed]}

The term gained widespread usage during the 1970s and 1980s and eventually was also used for any non-white sex worker in a poor area, including Asia, Mexico and Central America.^{[citation needed]} The term is still used among American military men, most notably in the Navy.^{[citation needed]}

An alternative meaning for LBFM is "Little Brown Fuck Monkey". If the letters "-PBR" are also used, they mean "Powered By Rice". Other suffixes may include "-ROR", "Runs on Rice".

The antithesis of LBFM is Whiskey Tango—or white trash. A derogatory term for any white woman.

For the women so regarded, the term was considered to be highly insulting.
