palis-palis
It's a..... "Charm Word"?Is that what you call it?Well, it's just a phrase you could occasionally hear Sabahans say when they fear that something might happen.Usually a bad thing.It's like a phrase to
repel a
jinx.At the same time, people might "knock" on something while they say this.And there's another variant:-Palis-palis, jauh-jauh"Jauh" meant "far".Since it's pluralised, then it means either "far away" or "go away".And idk what "
palis-palis" means.
