I get Kemaluan when girl sees my zakar kecil..
Hey Stavros, ya gotta be careful using that word ‘zakar’ in Java!.
Hey Barrie, does zakar have a different meaning in java?.I should of said celuk cenik.
Hi Stavros,
No, it doesn’t have a different meaning but because the majority of people their, their religion is Muslim, and so it’s not a word spoken in public!.
You will find that most folk there generally refer to the flaccid piece of flesh by the Western term. No, I’m not going to list them!.
Hey, Barrie!
I’m the one who so hardly tries to learn Indonesian. I think that’s helpful to go through Indonesian songs; by the way, I once made some comments to you about “Anggrek Bulan”.
Well, you know the song Kisah Kasih Di Sekolah. It says, at certain point, “malu aku malu — pada semut merah — yang berbaris di dindign…”. Does malu stand for ashamed, shy, emabarrassed?
