Although recently the word telolet has become popular from the Javanese region, according to him, the origin of the word is not from Javanese. "It's not from Javanese. It's just a telolet and unique sound," explained Arief.

The word telolet has only become viral in the last two years and has been popularized by school children. Previously, they did not mention the word telolet to ask the driver to sound the horn.
