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.

It all began when vagrant kids who lived near a bus or truck terminal notice that some drivers customized their vehicle horn to play popular tunes or just sound amusing. With no other source of entertainment like TV, and playing games gets old, they use those custom horn sound as their source of entertainment.
What began as a small group of children now has grown as a fad to even bigger numbers of children, all waiting in a row facing passing trucks and buses. Sometime with a phone to record video in hand, they shout the word or carries a simple cardboard sign scribbled with "Om (lit. uncle, also usually used as informal term for older/middle aged male) telolet (onomatopoeia of horn/klaxon sound, like honk honk) om.", basically meaning "Sir, honk please sir"
When you see a car you say: om telolet om, and they will honk

It's like asking the bus driver to press the horn button.
Telolet is the sound of bus horn and the word Om is used in Indonesian meaning uncle; grown man.
This is just for fun. But it becomes funny because it's unexpectedly getting viral.
"Om, telolet, Om!"
