If you’ve been scrolling social media lately, you’ve probably come across a catchy, upbeat tune paired with the phrase: “Ngạc nhiên chưa? Hê sờ lô hơ sờ ly ly”. This trend has gotten so popular that even office workers use it as a fun way to joke around and unwind after stressful workdays.
At first, it sounds playful and catchy, but if you ask what it actually means, many people just shake their heads in confusion. Others are curious about where this phrase even came from.
What does “Hê sờ lô hơ sờ ly ly” mean?
The phrase originates from the TV drama Ga-ra hạnh phúc, which aired during prime time on VTV. Although the show has ended, fans still love the characters, especially the role of Trung “trâu” played by actor Duy Hưng.
In the show, Trung “trâu” is a funny, kind-hearted guy with a unique way of speaking. He often adds the sound “sờ” after syllables to create emphasis. Many of his lines went viral on social media thanks to this quirky speech style.
Trung “trâu” is actually the source of the viral phrase: “Hê sờ lô hơ sờ ly ly”. It’s a playful twist on the English greeting “Hello honey.” In the show, because he’s not great at English pronunciation and has a habit of adding “sờ” sounds, whenever he greets his crush, he says: “Hê sờ lô hơ sờ ly ly”.

Besides this phrase, Trung “trâu” has many other funny lines that fans enjoy. His quirky style even sparked a new trend in how young people write and speak.
Now, instead of a normal greeting, social media users who spend over 180 minutes online will say: “Hê sờ lô hơ sờ ly ly”. Many even add the catchy music clip to their posts for extra entertainment and laughs.
Most online communities see this as a fun way to remix a familiar greeting while showing off a playful personality. Because of that, some people plan to copy Trung “trâu” and say this line when they meet their crush.
Phương Nguyễn said: “This phrase has been stuck in my head for weeks but I love it. Changing things up like this makes it fun. Plus, the actor nailed the delivery.”
Minh Trung shared: “I haven’t watched the show so I didn’t know where this trend came from. But it’s everywhere on social media. Since my name is the same as the character, people tease me a lot. Now that I know the meaning, it’s pretty cool.”
Linh My said: “My boyfriend has been saying this exact phrase lately. I found it hilarious but didn’t get it. Now I’ll spread it around my office. This trend is so funny.”
Lê Hoàn added: “Our whole office is a fan of Trung ‘trâu’. We’ve watched Ga-ra hạnh phúc so much that everyone talks like him. Outsiders might find it annoying or say it messes with language, but I see it as just a fun way to relax. For office workers like us, having a trend everyone knows and joins in on is the best.”
