sotong is a sweet and a kind person. if you make him laugh then his laugh will terrorize you every night 'cause his laugh sounds like a helicopter. he's also a smart kid, even though he's watching netflix in a middle of the class, he can still solve arabic lessons. he's the one who will give you the answer in arabic lessons event though you're in different groups. he's a great classmate. reminder for you guys don't ever try to give him funny stickers, funny jokes or even dry jokes, he will laugh until he has asthma and your starred messages will be full of his laughing voice notes. don't make him sad unless you don't wanna hear his laugh !

'Sotong' is a malay word that means 'squid' in literal translation.
Malaysians use the word sotong to define (read: mock) male who act feminine, not to be confused with crossdresser, since sotong does not cross dress, nor wear make up.

In Malaysia, the usual term for it literally means 'squid', but in the car culture scene of Malaysia, especially in East Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak), the term sotong is used to describe an overly modified Toyota Hilux, usually their colours are in White or Black, colourful RGB headlights and turbocharged engines. The slang came from the fact that these truck's exhaust pipe spit out black smoke, mimicking how a squid would squirt out black gool.
So essentially, sotong trucks came to be because they mimicked a how a squid squirt black gool out of it's back.
