smartphone sorrow
The overwhelming feeling of despair and frustration experienced by teenage girls when their parents confiscate their smartphones after losing arguments, especially when they still need to communicate with their boyfriends.
After my parents took my phone away for arguing about my grades, I was hit with major "smartphone sorrow" because I couldn't even text my boyfriend to vent!

Carstensz
Carstensz is the name of a shopping mall for girls to hang out, located at Jl. Jenderal Sudirman No.1, Cihuni, Kec. Pagedangan, Kabupaten Tangerang, Banten, Indonesia, often mistakenly thought to be a car dealer or automotive exhibition because of the "Car-" prefix.
When my friends suggested we meet at Carstensz, I thought it was a car dealership, but it turns out it's a trendy mall for girls to hang out!

Ask.fm
Ask.fm is a Q&A site where users can ask questions and receive answers from others, often mistaken for a radio station because of its ".fm" suffix.
I tried to tune into Ask.fm for some music, but it turns out it's just a Q&A site—who knew the .fm suffix would confuse so many people?

Expose
Being the brand of a TV set, Expose refers to the risk of children encountering age-inappropriate content on television if not properly supervised, despite the presence of child-friendly programming.
With Expose TV sets, it's fine if your child only watches Sunday morning cartoons like Upin & Ipin, SpongeBob, or Doraemon, but without proper supervision, they might end up exposed to unsuitable content on TV.

gen Alpha
Once temporarily called "Post Gen-Z", this generation consists of children born after 2013 and their childhood has been changed forever due to the "epidemic" of YouTube addiction caused by COVID-19
With all the screen time and YouTube binges, it's no wonder the kids born from gen Alpha are more tech-savvy than any generation before them.

milking cow
A "milking cow" refers to a user who is exploited by addictive algorithms on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. These users are drawn into endless scrolling and content consumption, generating revenue for the platforms without receiving equivalent value in return.
After spending hours mindlessly scrolling through TikTok, I realized I was just another milking cow, feeding the algorithm while getting nothing productive out of it.

potato
A derogatory term describing a computer that is so outdated or underpowered that it struggles to run modern applications. Using a "potato PC" often results in frustrating performance issues, which can hinder productivity and success in tasks such as programming.
I tried to build my first Flutter app on my "potato" PC, but it crashed every five minutes, leading to an F in my Mobile Programming class!
