Membabi buta and other humorous expressions
I came upon the expression "membabi buta" (to rage blindly) in a grammar book and I quite like it. Does it only mean to be angry or does it have any meanings similar to "going hogwild" in English? Heh..
If anyone knows any other funny animal-related expressions, I'd be glad to learn them too. Thanks!

Membabibuta has many different meanings depends on the context.
Literaly it means "Becoming like a blind swine"
Membabibuta is not a swear word or a slang word.
It is something that we call "Ungkapan" (expression).
So, It can be used in formal context as well.
Another animal-related expression:
- Kambing hitam (literally: black goat ㅡ means scapegoat)
- Kelinci percobaan (literally: experimental rabbit ㅡ means animal that's used for experiment / Guineapig)
- Adu domba (I don't know the English word for this, but it means to make two or more people fight)
