hon đa

ra-đi-ô

phôn

á-lô

sêm sêm : that means "giống nhau" in vietnamese - from "same"
min: that means "ki bo, keo kiệt " in vietnamese - from " mean "
**** : a natural underground void large enough for an adult human to enter. BUt it is a slang for a whore , prostitute in vietnamese.
Most of these words are simply words from English, recasted into the Vietnamese alphabet phonetically. This "language" is comparable to Spanglish, in which speakers may mix whole phrases of a second language into their speech.
