ala lelaki Explanation: another alternatif -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 hrs (2007-06-21 00:14:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I would lean towards the term 'tomboi' more as you mentioned 'research on Singaporean youth, street and college slang'."ala lelaki' would be another alternatif for the word tomboy -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 days (2007-06-24 10:26:58 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Yes tomboi is used as a slang term. 'Ala lelaki' perhaps is a more refined way of stating the term tomboy Reference: http://www.karyanet.com.my/knet/index.php?tpf=istilah_karyan... |
