EN: Paper streamer; serpentine
The ultimate fiesta/New Year's Eve/birthday party accessory. You throw it, it unrolls, and suddenly the floor is a colorful mess that someone (probably you) has to clean up later. It's the physical form of "party now, worry later."
From Spanish "serpentina".
Can also refer to winding, serpentine roads. (e.g., 'serpentinang daan' - serpentine road).
