V: *feels rather unwell, cuts GRE practice short* Maaf ya, Sayang, tomorrow aku enggak going anywhere kok.

L: Apa, Sayang?

V: Hahaha, maaf, that was an Indonesian word, 'kok'.

L: Kok. *basically pronounces 'cock'*

V: Kok.

L: Kok. *is still at 'cock'*

V: Okay, never mind. *chuckles*

L: But what does it mean?

V: Ummmmmmm.. "Tomorrow aku enggak going anywhere kok." The kok there means "don't worry".

L: So it means "don't worry".

V: Uh huh. But if you put it before your sentence, like, "Kok kamu remember Fook Yew?!" It means "How come kamu remember Fook Yew?!" Kok means a lot of different things!

L: Baby, please, every Indonesian word has multiple meanings.

V: Hahahahaha!

L: Even when you double the word, it's a whole different thing!
V: Oh my goodness, about earlier! 'Mas' means big bro like you know kan. But if you add an 'e' in front of the word--

L: E-mas? *pronounces e as in resume*

V: Emas. *pronounces e as in under*

L: Emas. *gets it right this time*

V: Yup, it means gold.

L: Gold?

V: Uh huh. Funny ya!

L: Heyyyy, cannot ya! When calling for the waiter in a restaurant kamu say, "Ummmmm...... Mas?" Everybody will think there's gold!

V: *dies*
