Not Bugiman? I defense…
My husband gave me a comment on my posting titled “The Bugis” as below:
“It is not bugiman, but boogeymen as it shown in wikipedia”.
Well, it’s not that I want to argue you or once again being a stubborn. I prefer to use “Bugiman” instead of “Boogeyman”, in this case I don’t care about what’s being shown or told on Wikipedia (I’m sorry Wikipedia…). I have had an image about the term ”Boogeyman”, in my opinion it is like something that is coming from somewhere in Caribia, people who likes to dance along the music up untill very late at night and get drunk. I don’t know, whether it is right or no, but I can’t change my perception immediately.
Just see the good side of using the term “Bugiman” instead of “Boogeyman”, it has more similarity (both in pronounciation and writing) with the word Bugis–the word’s root–itself right?
In the end, at least if, indeed I already made a mistake with this term, would you please just let me doing it this time, not because I want you to allow me to be wrong, but just because it is a special name I give to you.
For:
“Who else?”
“Of course, My Bugiman.”
