Anta

Also "ente", "ante," and other variations. A word for "you" in some Semitic languages. Ideal for intimidating-sounding speeches
"Anta... susi baka" (Amharic and Arabic)
"Anta Niko"

Sometimes used in Indonesian for Arabian/Islamic feel:
"Tahukah anta?"
"Antum nanya, antum bertanya tanya?"
(FYI: the Indonesian/Malay word for formal "you", anda, is borrowed from "anta")

Lauk

An Indonesian term for something eaten with carbohydrate-rich foods. Has no equivalent to English and any translators translate this as "side dish" but this isn't accurate as it should be eaten together with something like rice, noodles/pastas, and bread, not separately. But this term is less commonly used to refer toppings or fillings of something like bread/flatbread and spring rolls
"I eat fried chicken and nuggets as my rice lauk"

"Mutton is a great lauk for flatbreads"

"Pepperoni is one of the mostly used lauks in pizzas"

"Half-cooked eggs are good for noodles lauk"

Cryptocurrency

Lottery, but at a larger, larger scale. In SE Eastern countries and India, there's something better than this bullshit and they're unified QR payment systems, central bank's interbank transfer system, and virtual accounts. This investment is more a lottery than a real investment

Probably born because of complex electronic payment rules in the West + probably greed. In Indonesia, you can transfer your money easily without private companies as middlemen like Paypal and the central bank acts as the middleman and it's cheap (only about $0,16 for small to moderate transactions and about $0,43 for RTGS / larger transactions). A Canadian Youtuber who makes Indonesian content, Sacha Stevenson, said that in Canada, you need to make an appointment, which is time-consuming, to transfer money to your family otherwise it's considered a suspicious transaction, while in Indonesia you don't

In the West, electronic payment methods are proprietary and there's no unified payment system (not referring to Indian's UPI, but in general)
The payment QR code: BCA (An Indonesian Bank)

Me: *Opens Gojek and pay with this app cos QRIS is unified* (QRIS, pronounced Kris or colloquially Kyu-ris, is the name for Indonesian's unified payment QR standard)

The app: *proceed to payment screen and pay*

Me: "See, Indonesia and SE Asian countries have something better than cryptocurrency"

------

Me: *transfers money to my other account in another bank*

The banking app: *Choose BI-FAST (2.5K IDR) or BI-RTGS (6.5 K IDR)*

Me: "No need a private company middleman! Things like Paypal and Skrill are no use in Indonesia unless for overseas transactions"

Each payment method has different use cases and suits for different types of transactions. Non-bank payment methods (can be filled/topped-up with bank, ride-hailing apps drivers, and convenience store chains) and QR codes are suitable for daily transactions like buying snacks and groceries; bank transfers are for family, company, and individual people money transfers; virtual account is suitable for buying something priced higher than 10,000K IDR, must be on the same bank and it's automated. Both banks and non-banks are usually have the unified QR code payment method, and for Bank Jago, the QR payment is tied to GoPay (Gojek)

pseudo-TAWOG art style

An inconsistency in an art style that is not considered to have a different logic, and is treated as if it has the same art style as the other parts of an artwork. Usually happens when the artist loves cute art but for some reason, they're forced to draw realistically, usually the humans (usually because the community expects someone to draw realistically instead of simple art styles, or having afraid of being ashamed just because they draw cartoony, or for art / art portfolio showcase, or a combination of these)

TAWOG logic: having different art styles and each art style works consistently in a 3D, realistic world (sometimes pre-rendered realistic world backgrounds), with their characteristics. This can also apply when a cartoon shows a strong expression that the face becomes realistic for a short time or a real photo

TAWOG logic but pseudo: the animals are cartoony and the humans are realistic, but they seem as if both are realistic and have no differences in logic. Only we the audience can see them having different art styles. An exception when the humans came from games/cartoons/etc where they're not realistically drawn and they're put in artwork with this kind of art style, collab/fanart human characters are seen as if they're drawn in the artwork, both seen by themselves in that world and by the audience

Without TAWOG logic: all characters see each other as realistic or as if they're drawn, regardless of their art style unless they are made aware of their art style
I write this definition because for some reason, I'm annoyed by pseudo-TAWOG art styles. Nobody understood what I mean when I wrote my opinion on r/unpopularopinion. This is subjective, especially about art preferences, since beauty standards are different for each person

Usually, pseudo-TAWOG art styles have non-chibi anime-styled humans or Western-comic-styled humans. They're so many examples if you explore cute artworks but I cannot tell you which artists since I don't want them to feel offended (but I give you a clue for an example artist: the one who has a famous orange guy emoji, usually used in memes and Discord. I love this emoji but unfortunately, the artist doesn't draw cartoony humans frequently and prefers realistic humans in her drawings. Her old handle has a cartoony knight profile picture made by herself and the handle was knight-related). Use Pinterest and hashtags (Twitter and Instagram) to discover new artists and use Yandex for identifying the OP (Baidu if the artists are Mainland Chinese)

Telegram me 👉

Typical Youtuber impersonators that you'll see in famous tech Youtubers and any famous Youtubers related to tech (example: Max Tech, MKBHD, etc). But fortunately, Google made the Youtubers' profile pictures visible before you open the replies if they replied directly, so you can see if they're actually replying to you instead of the impersonators

Usually uses many emojis. If they're using phone numbers, they use alternate number letters or emojis to write the number to prevent anti-spam detection
The examples. It should be like these. Alternate names: Text me on Telegram / TELEGRAM@:
