Costa Coffee
A coffee chain in the U.K. known for its controversial optional policy of imposing a minimum age of 16 to purchase caffeinated coffee, introduced in response to the U.K. government's ban on selling energy drinks to teens. This policy is seen as contentious because a) children and young teens don't drink that much coffee compared to adults, b) it's difficult to gauge which Costa Coffee have stricter policy in banning the sale of caffeinated coffee to children under 16 — this is very dissimilar to the common fact that cinemas with more visitors have stricter policies on movie age ratings compared to smaller cinemas.
With Costa Coffee's age policy, it seems like they're treating coffee like it's a dangerous energy drink, which just confuses parents!

stale tea
Originating from the Indonesian slang term "teh basi" with this same meaning, "stale tea" refers to the smell that is emitted / radiated in a room where someone (usually male) has just masturbated there.
After he left the room, all I could smell was that unmistakable aroma of stale tea—definitely a sign he had been enjoying some alone time whilst masturbating.

Mobile Programming
The art of creating applications for mobile devices, which can seem straightforward but often leads to confusion and frustration—especially for those who score an F, like I did, when faced with the intricacies of different platforms and coding languages.
Mobile Programming sounded fun until I got an F in the course; it turns out that juggling APIs, frameworks, and debugging is a lot harder than it seems!

Indonesia
A term derived from the French word "inondésie" which means "flood", often used to describe an overwhelming influx of something, whether it be water, emotions, or information.
After the announcement of the latest Marvel's MCU release titled "Ant-Man: Quantumania", there was an Indonesia of excitement on social media, with fans flooding the platforms with memes and reactions.

Budi Raharjo
An influential author and educator known for his book "Android Programming with Flutter," which guides aspiring developers through the process of creating mobile applications using Flutter. His name often brings a chuckle in class, especially when it sounds like the last two words of my lecturer's name in Mobile Programming course.
Whenever we discussed Flutter in class, I couldn't help but think of Budi Raharjo; his book was a lifesaver—even if it didn't save me from getting an F in my Mobile Programming course!
