A combination of two words in two different languages. Sian, in hokkien, means bored. Bodoh, in Malay, means stupid. While the combination of these two words makes no sense whatsoever, it is widely believed that this term was coined to build rapport with the Malays.

Jack: AAahahahahahah
Teacher: aaAAAHAHAHAHHA
Class: AAHAhhahahahaa
Malays: what's so funny?
