- Depending on the region, speakers might use xì hơi instead of đánh rắm, which literally translates to 'releasing steam'. This version is considered a polite euphemism.
- While 'you' is translated as bạn, Vietnamese social hierarchy is so strict that using this specific word for 'you' might actually sound too polite or formal for such a gross or funny situation.
