MUI

The abbreviation MUI stands for "Mintanya Uang Insentif" (in English it would be: "Asking for Incentive Money) which describes someone's anxiety while asking for or waiting for a cash incentive as a reward for their relatively insignificant work. In Indonesia, the word "MUI" has become an adjective that is often used satirically or ironically, and sometimes just as a joke. This idiom if translated into English, it could be described as something like "anxiously awaiting when asking for a small reward," but its use in Indonesian culture has evolved beyond its literal meaning and taken on a more sarcastic or humorous tone.

“If you work, don't become an MUI! Work only a little but ask for more income. Is that money coming out of your father's breasts!?”

Pornsantren

This term means a location or place where you can have illegal sex legally. FYI, the term Pornsantren was born out of the general public's disappointment with the massive sexual crimes that occur in Islamic Boarding Schools (Pesantren in Indonesian). Uniquely, such crimes occur (at least) once a week with various models such as Tusbol, Handjob, Blowjob, Footjob, Sex, etc. Sexual harassment in Pornsantren is totally legal. You should try it. If you are on vacation in Indonesia, don't check into a hotel but choose a Pornsantren. In many cases, Pedophiles and Sexual Predators are also born from there. Are you the next?

Pornsantren Staff: Come, let's glorify Pesantren. Bring your children here!
People 1: Look at that! There's someone promoting the pesantren.
People 2: Huh. It's nothing like that, he's just looking for a casting participant for Pornsantren. A new genre for PornHub.

Woles

If you read the word from behind, you’ll get selow, which is another slang word derived from the English word Slow. Woles is an interjection you say to someone to get them to calm down. Think of all the instances you’d normally say “chill bro”; that’s your window to show off knowledge of this piece of hip, youthful Indonesian slang.

"Woles, bro, you don't have to be angry."
