Definition

1. Noun:
   • A peasant whose firstborn child is a daughter: A colloquial and somewhat archaic term used to refer to a man, typically from a rural or peasant background, whose first child is a girl.

Usage Examples

• Noun:
  • Trong làng, ai cũng gọi ông ấy là "bố đĩ" vì đứa con đầu lòng của ông là con gái. (In the village, everyone calls him "bố đĩ" because his firstborn child is a daughter.)
  • Từ "bố đĩ" ngày nay nghe có vẻ xúc phạm và lỗi thời. (The term "bố đĩ" nowadays sounds offensive and outdated.)

Advanced Usage

• This term is considered colloquial, archaic, and carries a pejorative connotation. Its usage reflects historical societal biases that valued male children over female children, especially in traditional agrarian contexts. It is rarely used in modern, formal, or polite conversation.

Variants and Related Words

• Con so lòng: (Noun) The firstborn child.
• Con trưởng: (Noun) The eldest child.
• Nhà nông / nông dân: (Noun) Farmer, peasant (neutral terms).

Synonyms

Notes on Usage

• Important: The term "bố đĩ" is deeply rooted in outdated gender prejudice. It is strongly advised to avoid using this term as it is offensive and disrespectful. The neutral phrase "người có con đầu lòng là con gái" (person whose firstborn is a daughter) should be used if such description is necessary.
• The word "đĩ" within this compound is a vulgar and offensive slang term for a prostitute. This contributes significantly to the term's derogatory nature.
