Emotional Cruiser's definitions

third-party authority

A slang term for "external authority", which is commonly imposed by parents, teachers, institutions, and employers to children, teenagers, and younger adults — but not that commonly imposed to seniors old enough to retire

I can't stand how third-party authority controls our lives—parents and teachers are always dictating what we can do, while seniors just chill and enjoy their freedom!

Every Friday noon, the mosque is packed—not just for prayers, but because that's when everyone knows their sandals will be mixed up!

PlayStation

Commonly abbreviated as PS, PlayStation becomes the generic name for gaming consoles as PlayStation does no longer have many rivals beyond Xbox and Nintendo these days. This brand name is derived from the saying of Ken Kutaragi, the figure behind the PlayStation, "If a computer for work is a workstation, then a computer for play is a PlayStation."

These days, when someone says that they're gaming, you can bet they mean "being on a PlayStation"—it's practically the universal term for consoles!

SGM

First launched in 1954, SGM is the Indonesian brand of growing-up milk notable for being locally produced, allowing to enjoy low prices* facilitated by being subsidized by Indonesian government. Henceforth, SGM is now an Indonesian backronym standing for "Susu Generasi Miskin / Susu Generasi Melarat" (meaning "Skint Generation's Milk"). This backronym criticizes the expensive prices of many other growing-up milk, brands which leave children not to have much money reserve beyond childhood — no matter how important growing-up milk is for children's growth period.

*compared to its competitors

I switched to SGM for my kids because it's affordable and actually made in Indonesia, unlike those overpriced imported brands that feel like a scam. It’s a real lifesaver for families with tight budgets!

Tombocantuxin

A fictional brand of caffeine pills coined by this UrbanDictionary contributor, derived from the Javanese phrase "tombo ngantuk" meaning "the medication to relieve sleepiness"

After a long night of studying, I reached for some Tombocantuxin to keep me awake for the exam—definitely a lifesaver!
