Related Phrases

• "Cưỡi ngựa xem hoa" (idiom, not directly using "bờm"): This common idiom means "to do something superficially." While it mentions "ngựa" (horse), it does not specifically refer to "bờm" (mane). It is included here for cultural context as it involves an animal that has a "bờm".
  • Anh ta chỉ cưỡi ngựa xem hoa chứ không đi sâu vào chi tiết. (He just skimmed the surface and didn't go into details.)

Related Idioms

• "Đầu bờm, đầu cỏ": This is a very rare, archaic, or regional expression. It is not standard in modern Vietnamese. A more common idiom describing messy hair or disorder is "Đầu tóc bờm xờm" (with disheveled hair).
