Joshua
A slang term for a beverage made by combining the energy drink Extra Joss with "susu," the Indonesian word for "milk". This energizing mix is popular among those looking for a quick boost.
I needed a pick-me-up before my workout, so I grabbed a Joshua—nothing like that energy boost to get me going!

Jesus
A beverage whose name is derived from the Indonesian phrase "jeruk susu", meaning "orange with milk". This creamy, citrusy drink is a popular refreshment among locals.
After a long day in the sun, nothing beats a cold Jesus to cool off—it's the perfect mix of tangy and sweet!

Hideaki Kobayashi
A Colonel Sanders-like 51-year old Japanese man who constantly wears schoolgirl's sailor uniform as he works as a cosplayer. His eccentric fashion choice has made him a memorable figure in the cosplay community.
When I walked into the convention and saw Hideaki Kobayashi in his schoolgirl's sailor uniform, I knew I was in for a fun day—no one rocks that look like he does!

purikura
Originating from Japanese pop culture, "purikura" (a.k.a. "print club") refers to a photo booth experience popular among young women who often wear pleated skirts and white collared shirts, typically paired with black JanSport backpacks. This style gives them a youthful, schoolgirl aesthetic, highlighting their uncertainty about mature or age-appropriate fashion.
Every time my friends and I hit the purikura booth, we end up looking like a bunch of academy students, all pleated skirts, white collared shirts, and black JanSport backpacks — despite having attempted to figure out how to dress like adults!

Jexi
In the book "New Beginnings: Not My Will", Jexi is a non-believer who struggles to accept a God who would allow suffering.
In New Beginnings, two best friends face challenges of love, loss, and starting over, one of whom is named Jexi. The other one is named Shaya, a mature Christian with a strong faith foundation and commitment to God. These two young women conquer changes in their individual lives that will strengthen their friendship. Shaya learns to heal from past pain as Jexi learns to let go, and let God guide her in her new path. This book shows the importance of seeking God and His will for our lives. Not our will but His alone.

unrated
A term that can mean either a) family-safe contents that no longer requires a rating, as such contents abide to (the guidelines of) one-size-fits-all Hays Code, or b) an unedited version of a film that is often more graphic or explicit than the rated theatrical release, having similar meaning as the "extended version" — both lumped into one same meaning
I rented the unrated version of that movie thinking it would be just a little extra fun, but wow, it was way more intense than the theatrical cut!

boxing
The last kind of sport not exempt from age ratings when aired on terrestrial TV, due to its violent nature. While other sports may be shown whilst being exempt from age ratings, boxing's intensity means it often comes with a viewer discretion warning.
I was surprised to see boxing on prime-time TV—it's the only sport left that still gets content warning because of all the blood and punches!
