If you try to surf through local forum sites for the first time, chances are you
will be scratching your head wondering, what the hell are these veteran forummers
talking about??? So, for the benefit of newbies, i have consolidated a list of
commonly-used terms (not in alphabetical order though).

1. Gahmen, Gahbrament - the 80+ celebrities in charge of a tiny dot, yet can
screw up in every project they declare as a 'Hub' or 'polis', elite-trained and yet have
very unrealistic visions such as 'Goal 2010!', 'SWISS standard of living!'... the list too long..

2. MIW (Men-in-White), SIW (Scums-in-White), Pappies, Papayas - who else have
cabinets full of white shirts to reflect their whiter than white virtues??

3. Running dogs (translated from 走狗) - those who spend more time in the nearest
RC/CC/CDC than at home, knock on doors like recce scouts to inform of VIPs coming,
those who parrot and evangelise whatever the gahmen says as if it is the gospel etc.

4. Ministars - local Celebrity Stars who get paid millions just by acting and
talking, claiming credits for minute success ("due to the efforts of the ministry,
dengue fever is finally under control."), denying faults by claiming "honest mistakes",
"i was naive..", and some who earn another million juz sitting on directors' boardsssss.

5. Foreign Trash, Fallen Talents, abbrv. FTs - Foreign Talents.

6. Elites - the RICH or those who have influential daddy or mummy.

7. Peasants, Peesai, Sinkies - the common folks (like me! proud to be a peesai..)

8. God, Emperor, Minister Mental, Cul-de-sac - the oldest street fighter in history.

9. Loony, Crown Prince - current no.1 ministar
(last heard he cocked up in his visit to Germany)

10. Ho jinx - CEO of the biggest local coy, which surprisingly loses $$$
despite being SG's biggest monopoly.

to increase the ministars' salary and promised "More Good Years!" during his PRIME time.

19. Durian, Dulan - former CEO of the biggest not-for-profit charity org who
was entitled to 8 cars and drivers, a golden-tap in his office bathroom and was paid
only peanuts every year for his 'sacrifice' in working as a charity CEO.. and by the
way, 1 peanut = SGD$600 000 out of donors' pockets.
