Originally referring to caffeinated products like black coffee or caffeine pills, this phrase originating from the Javanese for "the medication to relieve sleepiness" now means the act of Googling for the images of women's underwear to cure sleepiness whilst you stay up late doing college assignments on your laptop.
After hours of staring at my laptop trying to finish my paper, I resorted to some "tombo ngantuk" by Googling images of women's underwear to shake off the sleepiness and get back to work!
