The link takes you to a nitter copy (it works again!) But in case elon kasi dia koyak lagi: https://twitter.com/egasmb/status/1691789735142772893?t=k-c2L84nIEkJN3yVZ0Jfog&s=19

And it's qt another thread of his, and basically... It's no contest syiok/shiok/syok comes from Malay, but where did Malay got it? Apparently by way of Persian and it still exists in Malay, as "asyik".

Pretty cool stuff!
