SBY

An acronym that combines Surabaya, Indonesia, and Shibuya, Japan, two distinct cities that are geographically and culturally distant yet linked through this playful abbreviation. Used humorously to highlight the unexpected connections between far-flung places.
When my friend mentioned SBY, I was confused until I realized they meant both Surabaya and Shibuya!

threadpool

A playful term for excessive cursing or swearing, inspired by Deadpool's notorious foul mouth. Just as a thread pool manages multiple tasks simultaneously, a "threadpool" of curse words emphasizes the chaotic and humorous nature of swearing in conversation.
After that last meeting, I unleashed a full threadpool at home; I couldn't help it!

paragon status

Paragon status refers to the "cool status" achieved by being allowed to watch more mature (often inappropriate) movies and having increased screen time to catch up on the latest YouTube videos, typically among teens.
Ever since she convinced her parents to let her watch rated R movies, Sarah's got that "paragon status", and all her friends are super jealous of her extra screen time!

Species

Originally meaning "a group of a unique type of living", this slang term ends up being used to mean "type of people".
He's definitely part of a rare species; not many people can stand still having screen time limits imposed by parents past the age of 20.

emotional cruise

A phenomenon where a mainland Chinese person cries because mainland China is the only country in the world that bans the Tom Cruise movies "Top Gun" (1986) and "Top Gun 2: Maverick" (2022) when the same country is also the world's most populous country.
Mainland China, being the world's most populous country, is the only country in the world that bans the Tom Cruise movies "Top Gun" (1986) and "Top Gun 2: Maverick" (2022), hence causing a phenomenon known as "emotional cruise".

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!

pissed

A slang term that combines the meanings of "having someone peeing on you" and "being disappointed" — both lumped into one same slang term. It captures the absurdity of feeling both literally and metaphorically let down in a messy situation.
After waiting for hours at the concert, I was totally pissed—my friends abandoned me, and I got splashed by a water balloon!
