* Ông Bà Nội means paternal grandparents (to be distinguished from Ông Bà Ngoại, my maternal grandparents). Cô Bảy and Chú Năm are the titles that my brother and I use to address my father’s siblings (our aunts and uncles). Cô Bảy literally means “aunt on my father’s side, sixth born.” Chú Năm literally means “uncle on my father’s side, fourth born.” Vietnamese has a complex set of pronouns and titles that convey gender, status, paternal or maternal connection, relation by marriage or birth, and birth order among siblings.
* Skinheads and skinhead culture originated with black and white working-class English youth in the sixties, a solidarity movement among the lower-class British who rejected the hippies in favor of Jamaican rude boy/ska culture because both groups were segregated from the middle- and upper-class English. In the seventies and eighties, a small number of white nationalists adopted skinhead fashion and music, leading to its association with white supremacists.
* Oi! is a subgenre of punk rock specifically made by and for skinheads.
