Love our language, please

Always find it irritating how people always say things they don't really know and then make it into another language entirely on their own. Mostly are taken from Malay words and when I asked, nobody actually know what it really means. So, this is my own translation.

Tumpang - To take/ hitch a ride
What they say: longbang, dongbang

Buah Duku - A small fruit that resembles a bruise on the head
What they say: baluku

Pecah - Burst/ broken
What they say: bi jiak

Campur - Mix
What they say: chumpo

Macam - Alike/ similar
What they say: machiam

Also hate the way they like to say: laugh die me, scare die him, or whatever. Such a contagious language and it's all over. Wonder who the hell started it at the first place.
Also they way people say die-ded, done-ded. I don't know, I don't appreciate such things, maybe I'm really getting old.

W3Ll, aT l3aST ThE wAy (no, I cannot continue any further, it's taking a lot of time) kids write this way has died down. Man, I was worried at the speed they can type like that. I used to just call up and scream at my young cousins for writing me such SMS-es, I would get constipation just trying to decipher that.
