A non-insulting Indonesian word which actually came from Javanese language meaning white people.

All of the white people of European descent is usually referred to as "Bule".

The word itself in Javanese literally means albino, which is why some of the white people do not like to be called bule.

a word that can mean just about anything, depending on the context used. Started out as another word for bullshit. Originated in Cedar Falls, IA at Cedar Falls High School. There are various words that branched off of this word, such as: bugle, tugle, bugle my tugle, and anything else you can think of that isn't a real word but can branch off of bule.

"Let's go bule quick." -let's go smoke some weed
"Let's go have a bule." -let's go smoke a cigarette
"Why are you bulein'?" -why are you bull-shitting?

Get the Bule mug.
An Indonesian word that just means "white people". Sometimes it can also mean "foreigner" in general. It can mean either singular or plural (Indonesian word does not differentiate)

It is by no mean derogatory term and most Indonesian who use the word would not mean any offense. People who think it is an insult clearly don't know what they are talking about and just assume it is a slur.

There was even a show on the national TV called Bule Gila (Crazy foreigner).
A: Guru yang mengajar kelas bahasa inggris ku orang bule loh! (A: The teacher who teach my English class is a bule!)
B: Beneran nih? Jealous! (B: Really? I'm jealous!)
