Ki Dêmang
www.ki-demang.com is the website of Indonesian origin that allows you to find what day of the week a particular date was, as well as whether a particular date coincided with the fasting month of Ramadan. For example, by using this website, you may eventually find out that the rapper Quavo was born during Ramadan on Tuesday, April 2nd 1991.
I was surprised to learn from Ki Dêmang that Quavo was born during Ramadan on Tuesday, April 2nd 1991! Such a cool fact to drop at a party.

Unity 3D engine
A "godsend" that gives you the "PlayStation 2 development kit" onto your hands to enable you developing your own 3D games
Using the Unity 3D engine, I was able to whip up a playable prototype of my indie game in just a few weeks. It's a real game-changer!

blinker fluid
A one-of-kind car part that only exists on the headlights of the first generation Dodge Viper. It's because this car uses unused BMW Z1 headlights with blinker fluids as BMW has once allowed Dodge to use these headlights on the Viper for free. Whereas, removing these blinker fluids costed Dodge $1.50 for each Viper.
I was shocked when my mechanic asked if I wanted him to top off the blinker fluid on my first-gen Dodge Viper—who knew it was a real thing?

apple-to-orange
Being the antonym for "apple-to-apple", this term refers to the comparison between two things (or more) that simply don't compare! For example, you were born on Sunday, February 22nd 2004. You aren't going to have ever celebrated your birthday during Ramadan until Sunday, February 22nd 2026. But still, you have always compared with the rapper Quavo who have once celebrated his birthday during Ramadan. And the last time this rapper celebrated his birthday was on Tuesday, April 2nd 2024.
Trying to compare my birthday on February 22nd 2004, with Quavo's Ramadan birthday is just an apple-to-orange situation; they’re worlds apart!

youth
The age category invented by someone who have once insisted to lump together high school students within the same age group as 25~30 year olds
I don't know why they call us ‘youth’—having high schoolers and 30-somethings in the same group just doesn’t make sense! It’s like mixing kids' cereal with adult coffee!

flat design
The design style that we've been fed up with, as this particular design style has been around for 10 years (as of January 2026) without even coexisting with other design styles like Frutiger Aero or skeuomorphism
I used to love flat design, but now I'm so tired of it—can we please see something fresh instead of the same old look that's been dominating for a decade?

good kid paradox
This paradox refers to the phenomenon where children and young people are naturally driven to behave in ways that qualify them as "good kids". However, misbehavior remains common at this age because they often lack the prior knowledge or experience to discern right from wrong effectively.
It's hilarious how my little brother is always trying to act like a 'good kid' at home, but he still can't resist throwing a tantrum when he doesn't get his way — that's the good kid paradox in action!
