zips

The years in which we're now (00-10) or the 00s.

A lot of neo-words were suggested to describe the decade we live in right now, but many of these weren't as good as the zips.
Here's a list:
-the earlies.
-the beginnings.
-the peacefuls.
-the tookies (from 2Ks: Years 2000).
-the ohs/ oh-ohs.
-the zeros.
-the aughts/ aughties.
-the naughts/ the naughties.
-the the 00psies/ 2000-psies (resounding the dot-bomb effect!). Also: the dooming 2000s.
-the oozies.

bules

Name that means 'stark white', or albino in Indonesian, thrown generously at foreigners.

Hatred has no ends when it comes to Indonesian people and their xenophobic bias against English expats (or, 'bules' in the local vernacular), who try to hoist a country out of the shitpile that's called Islamist fundamentalism in Indonesia!
