Tipis!

Tipis is a kind of word in Bahasa which means thin or slight. But some use this word as a slank or idiomatic expression to tease other who doesn't grant his / her friend's wish and usually just like a magic spell, it works. It is to define that someone is less in solidarity to a friendship. However, it is emphasized the usage of the expression is just to tease not to persuade him / her to follow our will, one another knows it is just only a teaser and no further expectation.

Years ago it was powerful when saying the word to someone especially when others endorsed it. He / she who have been spelled will think twice and willingly change his / her decision or at least felt uncomfort.

Thesedays, the magic spell seems useless. Perhaps it' s because people has changed. What would you do when your magic spell did not work where it usually did? And in your own perception, what is tipis?
