Nouns

- "barsket" - derived from 'bastard', general derogatory term. May also be derived from 'basket case'.

- "bladibarsket" - derived from 'bloody bastard', profane derogatory term.

- "kapster" - a nosy or talkative person; can be also used as an adjective, e.g., "I hate them because they are so kapster." Contraction of the Malay verb "cakap", to speak, plus -ster (probably from analogy with English words such as "trickster").

- "aiksy/lan si" - arrogant, overconfident. 'Aiksy' possibly derived from 'acting up'; 'lan si' is of Cantonese origin.

- "blur" - confused, out-of-it. Roughly equivalent to "spacey" in American Slang.

- "slumber" - relaxed, laid-back; possibly a conflation of the Malay "selamba", meaning nonchalant, and the English "slumber".

- "sit" - since this is the word used for riding in a vehicle in Malay and in Chinese dialects, it is used in the same way in English, e.g. "sit bus"

- "tahan" - to stand, to bear ("Cannot tahan her perfume! So strong!"). From Malay "tahan", to endure, to withstand.

Exclamations

- "alamak" - exclamation of surprise or shock.

- "best/syok" - indicates the object as superlatively good. "Syok/shiok" is from the Hokkien word for sexual arousal or pleasure. (Shiok is also a chain of novelty shops, although it could also be possible that the word stems from the English word "shock" in the context of seeing something shocking). *Holy cow!! never knew it was the hokkien term for orgasm*

"die/finish/gone/habis/mampus/mampui/sei/tiu-lor(死)" - generic exclamations to indicate "trouble", used like the English "damn it" or "to face the music" (e.g. Today he die because of that loan shark). "sei" is usually pronounced as its Hokkien equivalent, "see".
