Base on my understanding, a poklen is a term used to refer to an anti-social youth subculture in Brunei.

These "Poklens" are the mix of Roadmen, Chav or a Ned, HypeBeast, Fuccbois.

How do you recognize a poklen? Simple. They ride bikes across the neighbourhood, hangout with friends and joke around loud in public (they have no respect for anyone).

They vape a lot of times, they wear caps backwards and forwards. They have dyed hair, they think they're cool but they're not as they are seen as a worst excuse for a human being. They have this certain way of talking or typing. Usually with bad grammar and broken english.

They have this addiction to mainstream designer clothing or shoes like Supreme, Jordans, Thrasher, Gucci, Led Shoes.

They have Twitter, Facebook, Twitter accounts as well. Having names that don't make any sense or just plain cringe. If I had a penny for everytime I cringe, my bank account would be in 7 digits by now.
Dude 1: Yo, who is this poklen loser who followed me on Twitter?

Dude 2: I wanna see that shit

Dude 1: (Shows a cringy Twitter account of a poklen)

Dude 2: (Barfs) Yo...dude....you gotta block that mofo.

Screw all other fucking definitions. This is the right one. Well for all of you know, poklen is a word used in Brunei. People think they're so cool and getting a lot of attention from others. Well think again, you're not cool and it is a disgrace for using such worthless, grammar error and uneducated words.

As I'm saying, most poklens now have invaded facebook and twitter. How to recognize poklens in facebook? Easy, they are using undesirable profile name such like "Doubleonezerosix" "Nineteenzerothree" "thedeathcore" "SiiSayankku" "Tigapuluhribuantahsampai'mana" "Aku Sii Manja", naming a group like "Crowzz'X, " and whatever shits like that so on and forth. And also, they always post their status such as "Like eh my dp gengz" "aku tau aku bida or it means I know i'm ugly" like seriouly kid? If it's ugly, why are you posting it?

Some words that are used in poklen conversations are;

Sayang - sayank
Tu - toh
So - cho
Haha - ahakz
Miss - mishhh
like - loike

And so on. If you're not a poklen, you may recognize them more.

p.s; "Wort" is not a poklen word. "Wort" is an Australian accent.
Human 1: "Hey do you know this guy/girl: insert name Sii'PunaiAyam from facebook?

Human 2: "Oh! That person, he's/she's such a poklen. He/She always type me with the Z's and X's at every end of the letter. Last night he/she texted me "Aku sayank ia tohzz. Ehekzz"

Human 1: "Ew. What a sore lozer. As if he's/she's speaking like russian people with saliva raining in the air, spitting on the face.

Human 2: "I know right, so disgusting. Gonna unfriend him/her. Catch you later!"

A term used in Brunei Darussalam as a label to citizens(often the younger generations) that tries so hard to be as non-local as possible and fails to look or act proper in their attempt. often identified with poor fashion or naming sense, these "poklens" are often looked down upon.

It can be deduced that the origin of the word stems from the older generation of the local term "puak lain" which literally means other tribe (puak=tribe, lain=other). however due to slang and communication difference( which could be attributed to difficulty in talking due to age) between the older generation and the younger generation its form is slightly altered and merged into one word: "poklen" (Pok=Puak, len=Lain).
Judgmental person: " poklen eh ko ani".
example of olden sentence which could be used by older generations: " jangan tah di tiru poklen (puak lain) atu".

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
