Usage notes
- Similar to con mắt mày (literally “an eye of yours”), the phrase cái đầu mày (literally “a head of yours”) is used as a mild insult to call out someone's nonsense, like bullcrap or bollocks are in English. Replace mày with your second-person pronoun or kinship term of choice if it sounds too rough for you.
