My dad used to use either this word or "dọt" as a tongue-in-cheek way to mean "let's leave". Is this term something that somebody is familiar with?

- @Thaiphanvevo Not really... can you please provide more context? Which dialect does he speak? @PhanAnh123, Fumiko Take. Wyang (talk) 11:39, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
- "dọt" is clearly the Southern Vietnamese phonetic writing of vọt, which is an adverb that describes rapid actions, "dọc" is probably an even more Southernized version of it.PhanAnh123 (talk)
- Cool thanks! That makes sense. My mum described the word to me previously as a word criminals would use as they ran from the scene of the crime. Thaiphanvevo (talk) 12:05, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Thaiphanvevo Hmm... reminded me of vụt, though there is a vowel mismatch. Wyang (talk) 12:22, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Doesn't this term also refer to a plant called Garcinia multiflora? The fruits are called quả dọc. 76.190.213.189 20:57, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
