"everything's fucked / completely derailed"

A vulgar rhyming twist on the traditional wish 'thuận buồm xuôi gió' (smooth sailing with favorable winds). Changing 'gió' (wind) to 'lồn' (cunt) flips the meaning from a blessing for success into a cynical declaration of disaster.

Sighing after a deal falls through at the last minute: 'Thôi, thuận buồm xuôi lồn mẹ nó rồi.' (Well, it all went down the cunt.)
