verbal banter using rhymes
Berbalas pantun is an example of a tradition that is popular in Indonesia and also in Malaysia. It is practised in groups, usually consisting of youths; typically a group of young men will engage in verbal banter against a group of young ladies.
It is a playful way to meet members of the opposite sex, and to get to know one another. The rhymes used in this tradition may be improvised, using rhymes.
