tirik
Tirik is a term that can refer to several different things, primarily depending on the region and context. In some parts of Southeast Asia, particularly in the Philippines, "tirik" is a colloquial term for a type of small, often brightly colored lizard, commonly found in tropical environments. These lizards are generally harmless to humans and are often seen basking in the sun or scurrying across walls and trees. They typically feed on insects.
In other contexts, "tirik" might refer to a specific type of plant or even a local dish.
