Embarrassing Moment in Solo

My grandmother lives in Solo. That’s one of the most silent city in middle java I assume so. That’s I like Solo very much. The air is way fresh than where I live now, Sidoarjo. I and my family often go there when holiday or when there’s a family gathering or something.

And once, about 3 years ago when I visited my grandmother in Solo, there was an embarrassing situation. In an evening I went to buy some snacks like ‘gorengan’. I mentioned some kind of gorengan and the last I mentioned ote-ote then I realized the seller looked at me and laughed slightly. I was afraid to ask why she laughed and I asked her to add some more ote ote then she laughed more. I was confused but still afraid to ask why. When I got to my grandmother’s house I hurriedly tell to one of my cousin. She burst into laughter. I just blinked and forced her to tell me why. She told me that Ote-ote means nude in Solo. Oh My God.
