Definition
  1. Noun:
    • A lubber, a dolt; a good-for-nothing: "bị thịt" is a colloquial term used to describe a person who is large-bodied but dull-witted, clumsy, or useless.
    • A blockhead, a lummox: It emphasizes physical bulk combined with a lack of intelligence or competence.
Usage Examples
  • Noun:
    • Đồ bị thịt! (What a dolt! / What a good-for-nothing!)
    • "Thằng vua bị thịt biết gì là ê..." (Tú Mỡ) (That lubber of a king was lost a shame...)
    • Đồ bị thịt ấy thì làm gì được! (What can that big lummox possibly do!)
Advanced Usage
  • The term is inherently derogatory and insulting. It is used in informal, colloquial speech, often as a direct insult or an expression of contempt.
  • It functions similarly to a noun of address when used in exclamations like "Đồ bị thịt!"
Variants and Related Words
  • Ngu đần (adj): Stupid, idiotic. (Describes lack of intelligence but without the connotation of physical bulk.)
  • Vụng về (adj): Clumsy, awkward. (Describes lack of skill or grace.)

Notes on Meaning
  • The word is a compound, but its meaning is fixed as a single lexical unit meaning "a useless, stupid oaf." It is not used to literally mean "to be meat" or "victim of meat."
  • Its usage is almost exclusively pejorative, highlighting both the physical appearance (large, perhaps fat) and the mental/behavioral shortcomings (stupidity, incompetence) of a person.
