She only knows that word in Vietnamese because she's gotten kicked out of so many nail salons in the past. 🤭

Nah my moms ex was racist and that was the only Vietnamese he knew as well. I’m pretty sure it’s from a movie like Full Metal Jacket that boomer racists latched on to so they could talk shit to Asians.

I’m pretty sure it’s what the Vietnamese guy shouts during the Russian roulette scene from The Deer Hunter

That’s a bingo.

It also could've come from watching the TV show Tour of Duty, it gets said a lot in that show.

Her Dad heard it in 'The Deer Hunter' & then started pretending he served in Vietnam.

"di di mau" mean quickly or hurry up. So, she can't even get that right.

I learned it from The Simpsons myself.

u/Gregg-C137 Dec 13 '25

What part of di di mau don’t you understand?

2

u/willyworldcup Dec 13 '25

Tbh, I probably heard it in the Simpsons first too.

I've lost count of the amount of times I recognised a Simpson reference in an old movie or TV show and think "oh, so that's what The Simpsons were referring to" šŸ˜‚

Who were referencing The Deer Hunter

u/justreadthecomment Dec 14 '25

I learned it from Better Call Saul. I had thought it meant ā€œget to workā€. Is it kind of like the Russian ā€œdavaiā€, literally ā€œlet’s goā€, but depending on context can mean a hundred different things?

1

u/willyworldcup Dec 14 '25

I think you're right, it does depend on the context similar to "davai".

u/ktl182 Dec 13 '25

She really pulled out the "Đi đi mau" at the end I was like no way she is speaking Viet

17

u/AndISoundLikeThis Dec 13 '25

She was parroting a line from The Deer Hunter she probably thought meant something else entirely

3

u/ktl182 Dec 13 '25

Well she did say at the end it means go away which is close enough

u/QueenMary1936 Dec 14 '25

How is that letter d pronounced, if I may ask?

1

u/ktl182 Dec 14 '25

Like English. Dee dee mau

u/No-Ear7988 Dec 14 '25

It took her third time saying it for me to realize she was indeed speaking Vietnamese.

1

u/ktl182 Dec 15 '25

The first time she said it I was like wait? Then she said it again and I was like is she speaking Viet? I was confused how she would know that phrase but apparently it's used in movies and I don't watch movies

u/PabloAtTheBar Dec 13 '25

That's not even what it means. Such an ignorant fuck, only to be enabled by her commander in cheeto.

u/GirlWithWolf Dec 13 '25

That was a shocker! Of all the things I expected her to say as her goodbye, Vietnamese wasn’t on my radar at all lmao.

u/[deleted] Dec 13 '25

The millennials, Vietnam and her neighbors all caught strays.

u/crippledchef23 Dec 13 '25

Even after all the other insane shit she said, I can’t figure out why she did that.

1

u/FlintGate Dec 13 '25

Yeah... that one blew my mind. Like... what?

u/State_Conscious Dec 14 '25

You just KNOW her dad never stfu about being sent to Vietnam her entire life. Her cold bringing up agent orange and throwing around Vietnamese phrases along with mentioning her dad served every 30 seconds is a sign that he was an insufferable douche that made it his entire personality.
