Pornsantren

This term means a location or place where you can have illegal sex legally. FYI, the term Pornsantren was born out of the general public's disappointment with the massive sexual crimes that occur in Islamic Boarding Schools (Pesantren in Indonesian). Uniquely, such crimes occur (at least) once a week with various models such as Tusbol, Handjob, Blowjob, Footjob, Sex, etc. Sexual harassment in Pornsantren is totally legal. You should try it. If you are on vacation in Indonesia, don't check into a hotel but choose a Pornsantren. In many cases, Pedophiles and Sexual Predators are also born from there. Are you the next?

Pornsantren Staff: Come, let's glorify Pesantren. Bring your children here!
People 1: Look at that! There's someone promoting the pesantren.
People 2: Huh. It's nothing like that, he's just looking for a casting participant for Pornsantren. A new genre for PornHub.

Kadrun

In Indonesian politics, the term Kadrun (Kadal Gurun) is an epithet directed at people who are considered narrow-minded, especially those influenced by extremism and fundamentalism movements from the Middle East, to stigmatize those labeled as radical. "Kadal Gurun" probably refers to the Dhab, a type of lizard commonly distributed in the deserts of the Middle East.

A: Sir, what is the religion of terrorists?
B: That's wrong! That's a false understanding! Terrorists don't have a religion! They're atheists!
A: Owalah you are indeed a Kadrun.

(Here the term Kadrun refers to anyone who technically supports Radical Islamic movements. This term is very popular in Indonesia.)

Gemes

Gemas or Gemes is a certain mixed feeling of irritation and fondness. This can be said of a cute toddler who won’t stop whining, or anything that invokes a similar feeling. But lately this word has mostly been used to describe something utterly adorable and unique that could be a certain object, person, or behaviour.

“I'm so Gemes to see your chubby cheeks!”

MUI

The abbreviation MUI stands for "Mintanya Uang Insentif" (in English it would be: "Asking for Incentive Money) which describes someone's anxiety while asking for or waiting for a cash incentive as a reward for their relatively insignificant work. In Indonesia, the word "MUI" has become an adjective that is often used satirically or ironically, and sometimes just as a joke. This idiom if translated into English, it could be described as something like "anxiously awaiting when asking for a small reward," but its use in Indonesian culture has evolved beyond its literal meaning and taken on a more sarcastic or humorous tone.

“If you work, don't become an MUI! Work only a little but ask for more income. Is that money coming out of your father's breasts!?”

PKS

The term is satirical and is directed at stubborn people who only want to win for themselves. Comes from the phrase Pendek Kepala Songong, which in English would mean, short headed with zero sense and zero character. In some cases it is also written PE-KA-ES but most often it is PKS. Technically in Indonesian it is a subtle satire and sometimes just a joke.

A: My neighbor is very reckless, a little bit says haram, a little bit says kafir, even though the person is hypocrite. How strange is that?
B: Your neighbor must be an PKS person.
