Definition

Tính từ (Adjective): - Of very easy virtue, very promiscuous, very wanton (said of a woman): A derogatory term describing a woman perceived as having extremely loose sexual morals, being unchaste, or behaving in a lewd and shameless manner. It implies a severe judgment on character and behavior.

Usage

• The word 'đĩ thõa' is a highly offensive and vulgar pejorative. Its use is strongly discouraged in polite, formal, or respectful conversation. It belongs to a coarse register of language.
• It is exclusively used to describe women, carrying immense social stigma and contempt.
• Important Note: This term is deeply misogynistic and insulting. Understanding its meaning is crucial to avoid accidental use and to recognize severe verbal abuse.

Usage Examples

• As an adjective:
  • Những lời lẽ đĩ thõa đó hoàn toàn không thể chấp nhận được. (Those very wanton/lewd words are completely unacceptable.)
  • Bị gọi là đĩ thõa là một sự xúc phạm ghê gớm. (Being called "very promiscuous" is a terrible insult.)

Advanced Usage / Nuances

• The term combines 'đĩ' (a vulgar word for a prostitute or promiscuous woman) with 'thõa' (which intensifies the meaning, implying being fully given over to that state). Therefore, 'đĩ thõa' is stronger and more derogatory than 'đĩ' alone.
• It is often used not just to describe actual behavior but as a general insult to degrade and humiliate a woman, attacking her character and social standing.

Variants and Related Words

• Trắc nết (adj): Depraved, morally corrupt. A literary/formal synonym that condemns character without the specifically sexual vulgarity of 'đĩ thõa'.
