It's a..... "Charm Word"?
Is that what you call it?
Well, it's just a phrase you could occasionally hear Sabahans say when they fear that something might happen.
Usually a bad thing.
It's like a phrase to repel a jinx.
At the same time, people might "knock" on something while they say this.
And there's another variant:
-Palis-palis, jauh-jauh
"Jauh" meant "far".
Since it's pluralised, then it means either "far away" or "go away".
And idk what "palis-palis" means.

In English, it is translated to "2 times 5". (Which sounds like a math equation)
But the meaning is to say that someone or a group of people that they're basically doing the same thing as someone else.
Usually a bad thing.
It could mean: "They're all just the same."
Here's how you use this:
