Rough translation from Javanese (Indonesian): Father Father is sad, seconds detong kale. This is a nonsense phrase used by Rosaldo Jetkhalis and Khasdeidi. The words "bapak bapak" and "detik detong" are meant to be swapped out for other words. This is so the phrase can be used to communicate something to someone else discreetly. If anyone else tries to listen in, they won't understand. If you say this with enough conviction and confidence, "ini sedih" and "kangkung" will be enough to throw any eavesdroppers off your case. If you want to really drive the point home, you can add the phrase: "Edå bañak air mani" at the end of your sentence to make sure only your intended target gets your message. (Translation: There is a lot of semen) Again, total nonsense. Just maybe don't say this in Bali. You're gonna get some weird looks.

Bapak Bapak ini sedih; detik detong kangkung
Example 1: "Meet after school ini sedih; I have something for you kangkung".
Example 2: Geekbar geekbar ini sedih; call me detong kangkung. Edå bañak air mani!"

Fleg

The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.

"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"

Skeef

To take something small, that doesn't quite qualify as a theft. Probably from the Danish "skæv" or the Dutch "scheef", both of which are pronounced similarly, meaning "askew, or not quite right'. To change an item's ownership without permission, but only something small and of little worth.

"I skeefed an apple off the neighbor's tree." "I skeefed some chips outta your bag when you looked away." "Don't skeef my chair when I go to the bathroom."
