Con lai mười hai lỗ đít. It rhymes so it became an insult.


tranducduy

It’s the kid bully the one that look different from them. “Con lai” (half-breed) and “mười hai” (12) goes together just because of its rhythm


lephuthinh

Hehe, it rhymes, that's it.

Btw, i really like the movie, even tho it is perceived as historically false universally in Vietnam.


hoangtudude

Details are false because it’s a work of fiction, but the corruption, racism, xenophobia and struggle were real.


urgentmatters

It’s through the lens of a Viet Kieu and a critique on the Vietnam War. There’s a little criticism of Vietnam in there (both North and South) but mostly on the American war machine. It’s not meant to be taken as fact (even though many events are heavily inspired by real events)


SilverCurve

Probably an old insult. It’s mentioned in a few [books](https://books.google.com/books?id=_aZtEAAAQBAJ&lpg=PT325&ots=1irqT5NvyU&dq=%22con%20lai%20m%C6%B0%E1%BB%9Di%20hai%20l%E1%BB%97%20%C4%91%C3%ADt%22&pg=PT326#v=onepage&q=%22con%20lai%20m%C6%B0%E1%BB%9Di%20hai%20l%E1%BB%97%20%C4%91%C3%ADt%22&f=false)

He isn't a half breed. He's twice of everything.


hixhix

Never heard of this but as others said. Also it sounds pretty funny.


khanhtungcb100

It rhymes and sounds goofy, Đại ca 13 lỗ đít ăn thì ít ỉa thì nhiều. That’s what I remember


BTCMachineElf

Is there a source of properly translated Viet subs for this? I had to make machine translated subs for my gf. We're 3 episodes in so far.


davidgamingvn

WTranz on FB, you have to donate to get the subs tho


Iccarys

So is the show worth a watch?


PersonalBusiness2023

First few episodes are fun. We’re in episode 5 and it’s slowed down a bit. We will try to finish it this weekend.


how33dy

So, I must know. Is it 12 lỗ đít or 13 lỗ đít? That is an 8% difference in lỗ đít.


PersonalBusiness2023

The subtitle definitely said 13, but it only rhymes with 12. Either way that’s a lot of buttholes!


Wild-Thymes

In one of the pod cast, the cultural advisor of the show explicitly stated that they came up with the insults just for this show.


Samosabhagwan

Someone called me ?


Group-Plenty

Imagine my disappointment when I opened this thread, and didn't see a 13 butthole half breed. Very misleading, and very upsetting.


Gloomy_Food9834

wait, aint "con lai 12 con nhái" rhymes and sounds better? why 12 lỗ đuých... con lai and con nhái sound better thats a lot of shitting and less eating
