The first vernacular genital-related word I know during my uni study in Sabah was 'tontolou'. I firstly heard this word from my senior when I sit together wif other seniors. Since he rubbed his arm while asking me whether I got 'tontolou' or not, then I thought that word referred to 'arm' which led me to interpret the question about strengthing arm muscle. However, at one day in sem break, I searched the meaning of that word, n finally realised tat its real meaning is refers to male genital..... kikiki

Later on, I learned also few vernacular words that carry various expressions: palui or tai-lin-ngong (derived directly from Hakka word, 大撚憨) which mean 'unusually stupid or silly', astaga which means 'oh my god', budu (derived from standard Malay 'bodoh').
