Scrolling through social media in recent days, surely everyone has come across the catchy and vibrant music clip along with the phrase: “Surprised yet? Hê sờ lô hơ sờ ly ly”. This trend has become so popular that even in the office, it is used as a playful phrase among colleagues, a way to entertain after work pressure.
At first, it sounds fun and catchy, but when asked about its meaning, many people would shake their heads in confusion. Others have expressed curiosity about the origin of this phrase.
What is “Hê sờ lô hơ sờ ly ly”?
According to sources, “Hê sờ lô hơ sờ ly ly” originates from the TV series Happy Garage, broadcast during the prime time on VTV. Although the show has ended, the audience continues to admire and love the characters, especially Trung “trâu”, played by actor Duy Hưng.
In the series, Trung “trâu” is a cheerful, kind-hearted guy with a very unique way of speaking. Behind each word he pronounces, Trung “trâu” often adds the sound “sờ” for emphasis. A series of his dialogues went viral on social media due to this speaking style.
He is also the owner of the phrase that has taken social media by storm: “Hê sờ lô hơ sờ ly ly”. In fact, this is just a playful way of saying the English greeting: Hello honey. However, in the show, partly due to his poor English pronunciation and partly due to his habit of adding the “sờ” sound at the end, whenever he meets a crush, Trung “trâu” often greets with: “Hê sờ lô hơ sờ ly ly”.

Now, whenever greeting normally, those who scroll through social media for more than 180 minutes will say: “Hê sờ lô hơ sờ ly ly”. Many even use the accompanying music clip to post entertaining and funny videos.
Most of the online community believes that this is an interesting play on words, refreshing the familiar greeting while showcasing the speaker’s sense of humor. Therefore, many plan to emulate Trung “trâu” and use this phrase when meeting the girl they like.
