Celu

Celu is an informal term used in Indonesian slang to describe someone or something as sexually attractive or stylish. It is predominantly spoken in casual settings, among friends, on social media, and in youth-oriented media. As a descriptor, celu can refer to a person with a striking appearance or to a look or style that is considered appealing or provocative. The expression often appears in phrases such as celles like “celu banget” to intensify the meaning.

Usage of celu is characteristic of contemporary urban vernacular. It remains inappropriate for formal or professional contexts and is generally reserved for informal conversation. Because it is slang, its acceptability varies by region, age group, and social setting. In some contexts, celu is used playfully or flirtatiously; in others, it may be perceived as objectifying or disrespectful, depending on tone, intent, and the relationship between speakers.

Etymology and origins of celu are not well documented. It emerged as part of modern Indonesian slang and has spread through online platforms, entertainment media, and youth culture. Like many slang terms, its usage evolves quickly and can shift in meaning or connotation over time.
