Shai : Your bored Indonesian-Slang malay translator

It's your "Learn Indonesian slangs" day again.

Slangs. Ya. Bukan bahasa kamus ya, anak-anak. Sebab kau cariklah sesetengah perkataan ni dalam kamus Indonesia, memang tak akan jumpa punyalah. These are equivalent to an urban dictionary. Tapi jangan risau. Kak Shai, the almost-always stressed translator will guide you through <- ayat bajet pakar.

1. GR (pronounce Ge-er, short for Gede Rasa... with e taling. Kalau tatau e taling tu apa, aku tataulah apa cikgu BM korang ajar masa sekolah dulu.)
Means: Arrogant, berlagak, cambest la sangat.
Contoh ayat: "Ngga mau? Jangan ge-er lho. Gue cuma canda aja kok."
("You don't want to? Don't be too arrogant. I was just kidding."

2. Gebetan
Means: Minat ala2 cam secret admire.
Contoh ayat: "Lho gebetan ma cowok cakep itu? Udah, bilang aja kok."
("You're interested in that freakishly handsome dude, dontcha? Just say it.")

** errr... maafkan translation english saya yang memang kadang2 over-the-top itu.

3. Telmi (short of "Telat Mikir")
Means: Slow, lembap
Contoh ayat: "Kok ngga' ngertiin lagi? Telmi banget jadi orang."
("You still don't get it? You are so slow.")

4. Matre' 
Means: It's just short form of materialistik.
Contoh ayat: "Kalau jadi orang ngga usah matre' dong."
("Don't be such a materialistic person.")

5. Ngedance
It's just the slang for dancing. But usually if they ask one to dance, they said "Turun yuk", more like, "Let's go down to the floor and shake whatcho mama gave ya...".... okay, that's a bit of an overreaction.

6. Ngedrug
Slang for doing drugs

7. Ngafe
Slang for going to the cafe

8. Jayus
Means: Lame, uncool
Contoh ayat: "Udah deh, jangan ngedance kayak Jupe lagi. Jayus, tau ga'?
("Stop dancing like Jupe. It's lame.")

9. Cokli
..................................................... I don't want to translate that for you. That's between men and what they do to pass time.

Ngga usah nanya kok. Gue ga tau kenapa muka2 ini yang gue taruk
