What is Loh, Gak Bahaya Ta? Means in Indonesia?

'Loh' itself was a term to express surprise in English having a similar meaning to 'wait/hold up'. 'Gak Bahaya Ta?' divided by the word 'gak' was from the word 'nggak/tidak' that in English was 'no/not', Bahaya was 'danger', 'ta' itself was slang from particle word 'kah'. So 'Loh, gak bahaya ta?' in normative way could be like 'Apakah itu tidak berbahaya?' in English means 'Isn't it dangerous?'.

This term went popular at the beginning of 2023 when there were so many kids that watching sensitive content on social media that contain putting something in a position of danger (such as politics, cultural, social issues, or memes), they're usually said 'loh gak bahaya ta?' in the comment section. At first, many people were annoyed with it due to its childish and irrelevance, also the content usually was a thing that a child shouldn't see and understand. As the time goes on, these terms went popular and were used by people in a response to something dangerous in a funny or goofy way. 

'Loh gak bahaya ta?' also has a change in meaning when it was shortened it becomes LGBT (Loh Gak Bahaya Ta?), especially in Indonesia which most of the population was Muslim, the LGBT issue was a taboo thing and thoughtfully prohibited, it becomes sort of a pun of it.

Real Personal Service

Real Personal Service On our last visit to London my wife and I stayed at the Magna Hotel. The Magna used to be a favorite hotel of ours but we had not stayed there for over sixteen years.
