.::nak-nik::.

For a long time I've been really annoyed by the accessories section in every grocery store here that's headed with the sign "Nak-Nik." Me, being all ethnocentric: "Hello! It's knick-knack! How hard would that be to switch that around?!" Until I walked into a store that had the entire word written out: "Pernak-Pernik." Oh. Okay. I guess they have their own word for accessories. Which I then looked up in my handy-dandy little pink electronic dictionary with the punk bunny on the front and guess what the actual definition was? "Needless complications." Amin-lah! Indonesian makes me happy.
