1. Kureng
A more sarcastic word to replace kurang/ kurang sedikit (remember to emphasis the reng!). Eg
Kureng.
2. Ok lor
I know this is very Manglish, but I hear this a lil too often. Everything seems just ok - lor, hardly good/ great, bad?
3. New age Christian
A friend mentions he believes in Jesus & also reincarnation... (no offence, Christians!)
4. Ape cer
Forget the formal Apa khabar. To hang out with the youth, go for the shorter ape cer (stands for Apa cerita?)
5. I dunno
I thought the words "I'll try" is bad. But this bo-chap phrase is definitely worse - and can get you in hot soup!
There's quite a few more I've heard, but can't seem to remember them now.... maybe for the next installment... or maybe, I'll share some funny Singlish next! :)
Haa, interesting about the kuReng. There's a ton more which have been modified with the influx of outstation peeps coming to KL. Not the same anymore and seriously, I prefer the old school bahasa 'pasak'.
