kunyuk
Originally meaning "monkey", this Indonesian slang term of Javanese origin is now repurposed to mean "rabbit", as it's new etymology now comes for the Spanish word "conejo" or the Italian word "coniglio" both meaning "rabbit", and also the Indonesian colloquial word "unyuk" meaning "cute".
I couldn't stop laughing when my friend called his pet rabbit 'kunyuk'—it’s a cute twist on the old meaning, blending monkey vibes with bunny charm!

Flora
The first name for girls born on the floor, as they were born at hospitals that happened to run out of vacant beds
When I heard Flora's birth story, I couldn't believe it—she was literally born on the floor of the hospital because they ran out of beds!

student
Known for still going to have screen time limits imposed by parents until college graduation, people known with this slang term "students" typically have to study harder* to eventually experience their screen time limits being revoked by their parents. They usually still live with their parents whilst in college; they also have once had delayed pubertal stage (which as a bonus, also makes them look as young as secondary students for longer periods of time). But at least, they have higher "drive" to study college textbooks in order to eventually be able to graduate* from college.
*compared to their peers with on-time pubertal stage

As a 'student', I still have to deal with my parents' screen time limits, but at least I can hit the books harder and enjoy looking younger than my peers for a bit longer!

IQ 78 moment
Named after IQ 78 being the average IQ of Indonesian people, "IQ 78 moment" refers to the moments that showcase the inability for Indonesian people with an IQ of 78 to understand complex things or scientific concepts (and phenomena).
When my friend tried to explain quantum physics but just ended up confused, we all had an IQ 78 moment—sometimes complex ideas just fly over our heads!
