Indonesian slang
Bucin
Head over heels; someone who'd do anything for their partner.
- Origin:
- Short for budak cinta (“slave of love”)
How it's used
A bucin drops everything for their boyfriend or girlfriend — skipping plans, replying in seconds, posting couple photos nonstop. Friends use it to tease, and people cheerfully call themselves bucin too. Casual; close to “whipped” or “simp” in English, but usually affectionate.
Examples
Sejak punya pacar, dia jadi bucin banget.
Ever since he got a girlfriend, he's been totally whipped.
Dasar bucin, diajak main malah milih nemenin pacar.
Such a lovesick fool — we invited him out and he chose to hang out with his girlfriend.
