indoglish

Because I use a lot of Indo on this mostly English site, here's some lingo for the uninitiated:

abang=big brother
ade/adek=younger sibling (gender neutral)
bete/bt=a negative emotion, usually irritation or a bad mood
cewe/ce=slang for girls
cowo/co=slang for boys
ja'im (jaga imej/image)=guarding your social image
kakak (pronounced kaka')=older sibling (gender neutral, or female, depending)
--kak (ka')=honorific for older siblings or 'sempai'
kuliah/kul=college
gwe (sometimes gw, gue)=slang for I or me
SD=elementary school
SK (sometimes es-ka; setia kawan): solidarity, loyalty (among friends)
skul=school
SMA=high school
SMP=middle school
TK=kindergarten
wa=slang for I, me (same as 'gwe')

what are all those 2s? this is shorthand for a 'kata ulang' or repeated word. ngakak2 is read ngakak-ngakak= laughing very hard

any words that need to be added?

Where he goes, he carries with him shame.

My friend just gave me two hoodia bars. What the heck is hoodia?


Also, I hurt my knee today when my dog pulled me down a hill in order to charge a poodle. Actually, I probably hurt my knee just by running on it, but I'm blaming that furry little bastard anyway.

It is not even funny how far my stupid dog can manage to drag me when he decides to get his ferocious on. He's not that big. It's kind of embarassing, really.

Then, trying to mollify the lady--even though it was all her fault, really, for being so touch and go about passing. Pass or go back, Jesus Christ--I said, "He's just confused by dogs that don't look like dogs--I mean, look funny--er, are woolly?"

None of these mollified her. I should have gone with, "He's a rescue! He's emotionally damaged!" People understand that rescues are touched in the head, and then they get to feel good about having been nice to a rehab-ed vagrant. It's a cheap shot against my dog's dignity, but really, I can't think of much more embarassing than his behaviour in public. He's totally asking for it, and better his dignity than mine.


Later, though, we were charged by a pitt bull, and my dog acted all shocked and innocent and "Wha--?" and I felt a little vindicated.

The pitt bull's owner did the whole flustered apology I know only too well: "She's very friendly. I don't know what it is."

"Geez," I said, "Some dogs."

Isn't hoodia that stuff from a rare cactus in the Kalahari that is supposed to suppress hunger, so that you can go days without eating or drinking and not feel it? People who use it have to force themselves to drink water and ingest a few basic nutrients, otherwise they can starve or dehydrate themselves happily and not realize it. Some tabloid journalists promote hoodia as a way to lose weight without having to do any of the hard work. They claim that Oprah Winfrey and a dozen other celebrities endorse it.

I can't imagine why your friend thinks you would be interested. You've said before that you are small and thin. Your friend is either very confused or trying to kill you.

the layout

Wanderlust v2. is a stargate layout.

The idea of the Stargate has always been one I liked: step through and wind up far, far away. It's Star Wars meets CS. Lewis's wardrobe.
