A phrase that Indonesians are very proud of. This is how they distract themselves from their recent political&racial issues. Om means "sir" or "uncle" in Indonesia and Telolet resembles the sound of bus horns. Indonesians are overly proud of how viral it went despite the fact that a phrase will never make Indonesia a better country. Commenters on "what is om telolet om?" videos in YouTube are mostly Indonesians, although it is meant for those who don't understand the phrase.
Jack: countless Indonesians are commenting "Om Telolet Om" everywhere, why?
Jill: I guess they are very proud of that phrase, where is Indonesia anyway? never heard of it.
