AA

Following the BAE acronym, here's another one: AA.

Overheard in the MRT the other day, I asked the Sis, "Eh, test you, what's AA? I heard them saying, 'Yeah, he thinks he very AA one lor, can't stand him.'"

The Sis also dunno, so she went to test her friends. They came back saying that's a common one, AA == attract attention.

I'm either a mountain turtle, or old age is catching up, or both. Cos when I think of AA, the first thing that comes to mind is... double A battery.

Checking the urban dictionary shows a lot of other things that AA can stand for: Alcoholic Anonymous, African American, the bra size for women that don't need bras, and etc. But guess these are not as applicable here as "attract attention".


Edit: following a conversation with a friend on this, she said her mom uses this to mean "split the bill", as in, in a restaurant and on way to settle the bill, "Let's do AA." For the record, this occurred in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
