Dear Sassy,
I am curious. There is a group of full-blown women at my office who seem to be hooked up on calling each other ‘nok’. Is that a new pronoun in Bahasa Malaysia or the English language that I don’t know of?
Or is it shortened from ‘Tenok’? Then if it is, why in the world would beautiful women calling other beautiful women ‘nok’? Isn’t it as bad as calling your friends ‘kambing’, ‘tikus’, ‘siput’, ‘ulat beluncas’, ‘cacing’, ‘badak’, ‘ayam jantan’ etc?
Or maybe it’s somewhat a code among them, only the privileged know the meaning and where it stemmed from? If it is, then it is SOME code you know, considering the words that might be its source are ‘Tenok’ and ‘Seronok’ among others and the circle it is used at my office: Full-blown women.
Or maybe it doesn’t mean a thing.
I am just curious.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Always The Saucy One,
Jadah

Actually I don’t really think they quite serious calling each other ‘nok’ but it’s more like having fun or some kind of teasing. However this attitude is horribly bad coz its involve individual self-esteem and dignity. Maybe they don’t realize it coz they too busy laughing.
Maybe that's the case. Maybe they just got too carried away. Or maybe what started as a tease became something permanent because over time the meaning of the original word became lost to them. Or maybe the original word doesn't necessarily refers to women's anatomy anymore. I don't know. But I resent people calling me that for whatever reason.
