tukang intip tetangga


Definition from KBBI Daring:
Tukang intip adalah orang yang melihat melalui lubang kecil, dari celah-celah, semak-semak, dan sebagainya sambil bersembunyi.

Dalam bahasa Indonesia, istilah yang paling mendekati terjemahan curtain-twitcher adalah tukang intip. Saya tambahkan "tetangga", untuk memberi makna lebih spesifik. Karena istilah tukang intip saja masih terlalu luas.

Saya memilih istilah tukang intip tetangga karena aktivitas mengintip melalui jendela ini (khususnya lewat tirai jendela), dilakukan untuk mengintip tetangga (baik dekat atau agak jauh)

  • Kisah Si Tukang Intip Tetangga - blogspot  
  • Tetangga barunya pasti menganggap dirinya semacam pengunti psycho atau tukang intip - googlebook
