Singlish

Someone asked me to do this so....

For all those blur blur ones out there, Singaporeans included, here is a list consisting of my Singlish knowledge.

FYI Singlish is a mixture of English, Malay and dialects.

1. BO JIO: Why didn't you ask me along too? Used when you know your friends are outside but they didn't include you.

2. WAH LAO EH: Used an expression to express frustration/disappointed/anger/just about anything you're not happy with.

3. LAH LEH LOR: Used as an expression also. E.g I don't want lah, I saw it leh, anything loh.

4. BASKET: Singlish form of BASTARD

5. HOSEHBO: Means "How are you?", used mainly by Ah Bengs, and by students trying to act cool.

6. SIMI: Not see me, but simi, meaning "what?"

7. HUMJI: Means no balls/no guts.

8. GUAI LAN: Used to refer to a person who is an asshole/douche.

9. LANGA: Getting hit by something.

10. KENA/KANA: Means either "like/got" e.g Kena sai lah (like shit), he kena detention(he got detention)

11. SIAO: Crazy E.g You siao ah?

12. BODOH: Means an idiot in Malay.

13. CEPAT: Means hurry up in Malay

14. HANTAM: Means to beat/hit, also used when someone is going to get into trouble. E.g Wah later he confirm kena hantam by cher one!

15. CHER: Short form for teacher, created by Singapore students.

16. CHIOBU: Means pretty girl. E.g Wah chiobu sia!

17. CHAO DA: Burnt, overcooked food. E.g OI you cook so long already not scared chao da ah?

18. SIBEI: Literally means "Die father", but used as an expression for "extremely". E.g This food sibei tasty man!

19. CHAO KENG: Means to pretend to be sick/injured in order to be excused for something. E.g Wah lao he pretend he sick sia, chao keng only!

20. PENG SAN: Meaning to faint. E.g Eh drink more water if not later you halfway peng san!

21. STEADY: Means being smooth in doing something. e.g Wah lao see he run so fast, steady lah!

22. MATI: Means die in Malay, used when getting into trouble. E.g Eh shit teacher saw us already we mati!

23. DIAM: Asking someone to shut up, in a rude way.

24. SIAM: Asking someone to move out of the way, in a rude way.

25. Ka Ni Na: A vulgarity, literally means "fuck your mom". But used with anything, Singaporeans as usual.

26. Chao Chee Bye/Chao Chee Bong: Literally means "smelly vagina" but as usual, used as a vulgarity that goes with nearly anything.

27. EH/OI: Calling someone, like "hey!"

Ok that's all I can think off. Now my brain already want to mati already.
