peer agreement (net): +1sweeping statement Explanation: "serkap jarang" literally means using a wide net to catch the unwary fishes. In actual sense you make statements that may even border on slander and innuendo like "every job poster in that exchange are out exploit the naive job-seekers". In the process, you lump the innocents together with the guilty. So "Jangan main serkap jarang!" may be translated as "Don't you go making sweeping statements!....." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 47 mins (2005-02-16 07:04:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- However, you don\'t generally name names, so it is not slander per say. This is more like grouping/categorising groups into whatever \'general description\', usually in the negative sense. |
