Decoding the trend "What have you eaten, beautiful lady?", which became popular in early 2025

In early 2025, a polite question suddenly became a trend, going viral across all social media platforms: "Have you had dinner yet, beautiful lady?". So what does this question mean?

"Have you eaten yet?", "Have you eaten yet?" are common polite questions that Vietnamese people often use instead of greetings to start a conversation and communication, helping to shorten the distance. First, "Have you eaten yet?" is a question of concern, asking about the other person's eating habits, similar to: "Have you eaten yet?" or "Have you eaten today?".

When adding the phrase "beauty", the sentence not only shows concern but also creates a sense of intimacy, closeness and adds humor, making the conversation more natural. Not only that, "Have you eaten yet, beauty?" is also used by guys as a charming way to flirt in everyday conversations with a girl.

On the other hand, the question "Have you eaten yet?" can be used in many regions, but when "beauty" is added, it immediately reminds people of the typical communication style of people in the Southwest region.

In communication, the forms of address of Western people are quite rich and this is a special point that people cannot forget. In addition to calling each other "beautiful", when coming to the West, you will also hear many other interesting ways of calling such as: honey, gold, ni... For example: "Come and choose vegetables, gold", "Buy a lot to get a cheap price for you"...

Recently, this type of question suddenly became a trend on social networks and the phrase "Have you eaten yet, beautiful lady?" has taken the platform by storm thanks to the charming initiation of TikToker Nghi Khun (real name Hoang Nghi Bao).

The clip is only 8 seconds long but has quickly attracted 6.6 million views, making it an internet phenomenon. In the clip, Nghi Khun uses a Western dialect to create a unique mark: "Have you eaten yet, beautiful? I've been scrolling through TikTok all day? Have you eaten yet? Have you eaten yet, beautiful?".

The appeal of the saying lies in its simplicity and friendliness, like a polite greeting but with a bit of humor and charm. Soon after, the phrase "What have you eaten, beautiful lady?" was used by young people in their clips and online communications. It is used not only to greet, but also as a humorous interaction in conversations with friends, colleagues or to add wit to flirting.

Another factor that makes this saying go viral is that many famous people use it in their videos and social media content such as JSOL, Cris Phan, Phuong My Chi, Phuong Anh Dao.... With the spread of social media and the appeal of Vietnamese stars, the phrase "What have you eaten, beautiful people?" has been renewed and become a popular trend.

Gen Z is also constantly innovating and continuing to develop this saying in many different directions. They vary the question "Have you had dinner yet, beautiful lady?" to suit many contexts and audiences, from school, office to family relationships or groups of friends.

For example, when posting pictures of dogs and cats, pet club members will use the question: "See the smooth fur, beautiful?"; "What pate have you had, beautiful?"; "What vaccinations have you had, beautiful?"; "What slippers have you had, beautiful?"; "What dried meat have you had, beautiful?"... The online sales club creatively created: "What have you bought for a snack, beautiful?"; "What rice paper have you had, beautiful?"...

In just a short time, the saying has been recreated in many forms such as memes, gifs, and funny videos on TikTok and Facebook. Thanks to that, "What have you eaten, beautiful lady?" has created a widespread phenomenon, becoming a common greeting for many people at the beginning of 2025.
