User:DDG9912/Indonesian profanity
The colloquial form of the Indonesian language commonly employs a number of profanities, collectively are variously known in the language as umpatan, kata-kata kasar/kotor, caci maki, or sumpah serapah. These words are either from animal or sexual terms. Here is the list of notable Indonesian profanities.
Categories
There are several categorization on the Indonesian profanities. Anita Zuhrotul Jannah in 2021 divided these into five:[1]
- profanities from animal names;
- from objects;
- from body parts (including the genitalia);
- from activities (including sexual in nature); and
- from adjectives.
However, according to Susanto Pudjomartono:[2]
Animal terms
There are several animal terms also used as profanities, namely anjing "dog" (or the Javanese loan asu), babi "pig", bangsat "bedbug",[3] kampret "microbat" and less commonly monyet "monkey", buaya "crocodile" (specifically to refer a playboy), and bajing "squirrel".[4] Alongside the standard terms, anjing has many minced oaths, including anjir and anjay. The Javanese profanity jancok has the minced oath form jangkrik "cricket".[4] These words are used as expletives, most often to release disgust.
Adjectives
Terms tolol, goblok, bego, blo'on, and dungu are commonly used to call a stupid person (bodoh is the usual term for "stupid").[5] Gila "insane" is occasionally used in unpleasant situation.[1]
Sexual terms
In Indonesian, the penis is variously referred to as kontol (from Javanese),[6] peler (also used to refer to a scrotum),[7] titit, and burung "bird",[8] while the vagina is known as puki (cf. Malay pukimak).[9]
