Significado
Immature or reckless person.
Contexto cultural
In the countryside, the buffalo is the most valuable asset. A 'young buffalo' is a sign of future wealth but requires strict training to be useful. The term is a weapon in 'war of words' online. It's used to invalidate an opponent's argument by attacking their maturity. Gaming cafes (net cỏ) are often seen as the breeding ground for 'trẻ trâu' behavior, where young kids shout and play aggressively. Some young people embrace the term ironically, calling themselves 'trẻ trâu' to show they are rebellious or don't care about social norms.
