"xờ nhẹ" meaning in Vietnamese

See xờ nhẹ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [səː˨˩ ɲɛ˧˨ʔ] [Hà-Nội], [səː˦˩ ɲɛ˨˩ʔ] [Huế], [səː˨˩ ɲɛ˨˩˨] (note: Saigon)
Etymology: xờ (“ex”) + nhẹ (“lightweight”). Since ‹x› properly represents an alveolar /s/ which feels "light" as opposed to a retroflex /ʂ/ represented by ‹s›, this name may be used by those (usually northerners) who don't distinguish the two sounds to distinguish the two letters in writing.
