A non-insulting Indonesian word which actually came from Javanese language meaning white people.

All of the white people of European descent is usually referred to as "Bule".

The word itself in Javanese literally means albino, which is why some of the white people do not like to be called bule.

An Indonesian word that just means "white people". Sometimes it can also mean "foreigner" in general. It can mean either singular or plural (Indonesian word does not differentiate)

It is by no mean derogatory term and most Indonesian who use the word would not mean any offense. People who think it is an insult clearly don't know what they are talking about and just assume it is a slur.

There was even a show on the national TV called Bule Gila (Crazy foreigner).
A: Guru yang mengajar kelas bahasa inggris ku orang bule loh! (A: The teacher who teach my English class is a bule!)
B: Beneran nih? Jealous! (B: Really? I'm jealous!)

A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.

Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”

Notes:
Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.
“I’m not dieting, I’m just on that glippy.”
“Ever since the glippy hit, food feels optional.”
