It’s been a busy week with work and accordingly some things slip, specifically research and posting of the uniquely Indonesian day to day happenings.
Language here is fraught with pitfalls, being a mis-match of over a hundred languages, welded together recently to create Bahasa Indonesian, there are bound to be words for which there are no counterparts in English.
Do you need LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas), look no further than the trucks with signage saying El-Pi-Ji.
However, there are some cracking words, a few of which are listed below(Desus being my favourite)
DIDIS
To search and pick up lice from one's own hair, usually when in bed at night.
NYLENTIK
To flick someone with the middle finger on the ear.
KUCIR
A tuft of hair left to grow on top of an otherwise bald head. (Mine)
LATAH
Uncontrollable habit of saying embarrassing things. (Dedicated to a chef we know often known as Tourette John)
NING-NONG
The ringing of a doorbell.
DESUS
The quiet, smooth sound of somebody farting but not very loudly.
