Boh sini, Boh sana, Hok to se nyo Nate Berok..

In the hand of kelantanese, Boh means Boss. So in my own Guchil,Krai media group, we have so many Bohs. Everyone is referring to each other as Boh. Boh Mat, Bok Li, Boh Soyi, Bok Pok Li, Boh ni , Boh tu.... So, who's the real boss?

As a matter of fact, all of us are the "boss" in our own definition. We are in control of our own doings and our own destiny. We have the opportunity to change our "Qada & Qadar" with our own prayers and nobody can change us but us. This is between us and Allah Al Mighty.

So when everyone starts calling each other with Boh before the name, there's a sign of respect for each other and since none of us has Datukship title, and what more Tan Sri or Dato seri, the aptly use of Boh in our communication is something unique.

But to cross swords with kelantanese does have repercussion when it comes to cursing language. So instead of calling you Boh, you will hear words like Nate Berok so and so, before your names. In this context, Kelantanese can be very nice and kind with their words when they respect you but the moment they lose respect on you, the Nate Berok  expletive will be your appetizer of the day.

Cheers!
