* Singlish is a largely spoken creole, and as such descriptivism (recording forms that reflect actual pronunciation in spoken language, or as appearing in the linguistic corpus) is more pertinent than strict prescriptivism. Nevertheless, the use of more standard forms (or for words originating in languages with Latin script, such as Malay, accurate to the original spelling) is recommended and encouraged.

Detailed etymology
definitions
noun
- (vulgar) a variation of dai di for at least four players, where players are assigned roles for the next game based on their finishing positions. The loser is named the 'asshole', with the second-last player having varying titles including 'scum' or 'peasant'. The first- and second- placed players are usually known as the 'king' and 'queen' respectively (though other terms may also be used). At the start of the game, the 'asshole' must trade their two objectively highest-value cards over to the 'king' in exchange for their worst two, while the second-last-placed player gives their single best card in exchange for the 'queen's' worst one.
While rules vary, in most rulesets, if the 'asshole' wins a round within the game, the ranking of all cards is reversed for the next round. This is known as a 'revolution'.
In the West, a game with similar rules based on tai ti or some similar Chinese card game is known as "President" or "Asshole"; another similar game is known as "Daifugō" in Japan.
