iPad kid 

Being the backronym for "Indonesian people addicted to devices-type kid", this pejorative slang term meaning "screen addict" refers to the country Indonesia having world's highest average screen time, i.e. 7 hours 38 minutes per day as of 2025.

With kids in every corner of Jakarta glued to their phones, it's hard not to call them all iPad kids these days!

Corona

Named after the COVID-19 pandemic, "Corona" is the title of a reality show where participants have to stay at home for as long as possible in order to be able to treat themselves with sips of Dalgona coffee.

I just binge-watched the latest season of Corona, and I can't believe how they survive on just Dalgona coffee and TikTok challenges!

iPad kid society

The moniker given to the country Indonesia as the country with world's highest average screen time — i.e. 6.05 hours per day throughout early 2020's, now 7 hours 38 minutes per day as of 2025. This Indonesian people's screen time is claimed to "rival that of iPad kids", hence the prefix "i-" in this slang term "iPad kid society" (meaning "the society consisting of persons who are addicted to screens") akcually stands for "Indonesia".

With everyone in Indonesia glued to their screens for over 7 hours a day, it's no wonder we call it the iPad kid society.

Linux distro maker

This is who you are when you feel like you've developed an entirely new OS (operating system) even though you just made a new distro for Linux OS.

After spending all weekend tweaking settings and packaging my own Linux distro, I felt like I've developed an entirely new OS — even though I'm just a Linux distro maker.

TNR 

TNR is the abbreviation for the font name "Times New Roman" that is not easily recognizable as the name of a font, simply due to being abbreviated as TNR.

I was writing my essay and someone asked if I was using TNR; I had to explain it was just Times New Roman!
