AFIQ ASKED
Bunga taik
Sekepeng
Cakne and
Bed'oh lalu
I have explained sekepeng in my Pitih Pitih Pitih post. So do go and read it.
As for bunga taik, there is really no such flower. It is an idiom used to mean seeds of discontent that will lead to a quarrel or fight. When there is horseplay between siblings or close friends, mothers will ask for the horseplay, tauntings or debates to stop before the flower blooms and a serious fight develops.
"Jadilah begelor tu, kang jaddi bunga taik kang!"
(Enough of the name-callings lest there will be reasons to fight)
"Mung kena cakne sikit ke anok mung tu, jangang bui dia berasa macang anok yateng"
(Pay attention to your son. Don't let him feel that he is an orphan)
Bedo'h lalu is "too much" or "over the limit". Bed'oh comes from the Arabic bida'ah which actually means "new" or "innovation". Theologically, it means "not in the original teachings" and therefore not acceptable.
"Bed'oh lalu mung ning Jusoh, suruh bining pakai tepong gandung gati bedok"
(You are too much Jusoh, asking your wife to use flour instead of face powder)
Afiq also asked about Terengganu phrases that look like similes but are not. I will give a few here:
Masang cattung (sour- face)
Maseng pekkok, maseng mekkok (very saltish - taste)
Manih letting (very sweet- taste)
Tawo heber , tawo heber lembor (flat or bland-taste)
Busuk
Let's see if you can come up with explanations or the origin of the above. Let me hear your theories.

kak Miah, my ex-neighbor always used that phrase "bed'oh lalu..." when she was mad at her kids. i was wondering what sort of 'bida'ah' (religious innovation) that the kids had done. But kak miah was from Pahang. She used that phrase quite often.

As for bunga taik, Kedahan hubby uses it often when the girls get a little rambunctious ..as with bola tanggung i.e. instigate a fight by doing or saying something ..

I can only attemot to tackle maseng pekkok/mekkok and manih leting..

Maseng mekkok - mekkok or pekkok probably comes from memekak or to make pekak (deafening or to make deaf). So when some thing/dish is 'maseng mekkok', it means it is so salty, it almost made you deaf. Maybe the sodium level is so high it affects your hearing?
Manih letting - assuming 'leting' is referring to 'lenting' which means 'to jump suddenly' or 'jump about like fleas', this phrase would mean that it's so sweet, it literally makes you jump out of your seat (and not sit still). I guess the old trengganu folks already knew the affect too much sugar has on people. I definitely see it in my kids when they've had too much honey stars.

Hello Pokku,

I've always thought bed'oh means = "tipu ah kau nih" hehehe. Thanks for showing me the light :)

My theory (since I'm from Kelate I shall use Kelantanese versions of the phrases) :
By
Mase purik - 'purik' comes from the word 'puree' as in tomato puree has a sour taste.
Mase cetung - 'cetung' comes from 'cantum'. Try make a sour face and you would pout your mouth instantaneously, hence making the lips ber'cantum'. Yasmin's Mummy, at 12:08 PM

Tergelak waktu 1st time dengar perkataan 'Manih Letting'. Ntah, cam kelakar je... Tapi lepas tu saya pun suka guna perkataan tu.. Macam best untuk disebut-sebut dan digunakan selalu.. :)

I'm just facinated by the explanation. Of course. I would not know anything about how these phrases came about since I'm not from the East Coast. But, it still facinates me.

Dear Pokku, been regular visitor to your wonderful blog. You never fail to amaze and amuse me. It's good refresher to me being from Darul Naim. Salute!!

The reason for Afiq asking about bunga taik is because our Uncle - Che Nuh used to say that to us whenever the both of us bergalok.

bed'oh tu bukannya sama ngan bidaah. bed'oh tu dalam loghat orang pahang sama la dengan menipu, bohong,merapu dan sebagainya yang tak betul. emak saya slalu cakap kalu saya usik-usik dia. well, that's far i know it, i'm from pahang anyway
