Membabi buta and other humorous expressions I came upon the expression "membabi buta" (to rage blindly) in a grammar book and I quite like it. Does it only mean to be angry or does it have any meanings similar to "going hogwild" in English? Heh.. If anyone knows any other funny animal-related expressions, I'd be glad to learn them too. Thanks!

Membabibuta has many different meanings depends on the context. Literaly it means "Becoming like a blind swine" Membabibuta is not a swear word or a slang word. It is something that we call "Ungkapan" (expression). So, It can be used in formal context as well. Another animal-related expression: - Kambing hitam (literally: black goat ㅡ means scapegoat) - Kelinci percobaan (literally: experimental rabbit ㅡ means animal that's used for experiment / Guineapig) - Adu domba (I don't know the English word for this, but it means to make two or more people fight)

dalam bahasa indonesia disebut "kiasan" atau tindakan yang menyerupai sesuatu , bisa hewan , tumbuhan , benda , etc .... kiasan = simile, comparison, analogy 1. Babi , Anjing , Monyet well Islam is the dominant religion in Indonesia , and pig - dog are haram animal in other word , its lowly animal .... about the monkey , well u can guess it why if u addressed it to someone , it'll become rude harsh and insulting word but theres an exception if u said to very very very very very close friend , the meaning will become joking , really harsh joke , btw i rarely use it ex : wah anjing loe , masa gw ditinggalin di tengah kuburan tengah malam en : you dog , how could u you leave me alone in middle of graveyard at midnight 2. Lintah Darat = loan shark leech who lives in the land , not swamp 3.
