Bụi đời
The Vietnamese term ''bụi đời'' ("dust of life") refers to vagrants in the city, or, ''trẻ bụi đời'' to street children or juvenile gangs. From 1989, following a song in the musical ''Miss Saigon'', "Bui-Doi"〔Theater Yearbook 1990-1991: The Complete Broadway and Off-Broadway ... - Page 26 Otis L. Guernsey, Jeffrey Sweet - 2000 "Nowhere is the dichotomy of good intentions and cheesy realization more blatant then in the song "Bui-Doi," an appeal on behalf of the outcast, half-breed illegitimate offspring Americans left behind in Southeast Asia."〕 came to popularly, referring to Amerasian children left behind in Vietnam after the Vietnam War.

The term ''bụi đời'' ("dust of life") originally referred to the starving people of the countryside taking refuge in towns, in the 1930s.〔Philippe M. F.

It is intended to bring to mind an image of a child abandoned and moving about without purpose, like dust. In Vietnamese, it has no racial connotation. Vietnamese refer to Amerasians as ''Mỹ lai'' (mixed American and Vietnamese), ''con lai'' (mixed-race child), or ''người lai'' (mixed-race person).
The connection to mixed-race parentage given in Western media, from connection with ''Miss Saigon'', is not widely known in Vietnam today. The term ''bụi đời'' in Vietnam today refers to any people, but usually young men, who live on the street or live as wanderers. A related verb ''đi bụi'' ("go dust") means someone who has left their home, usually due to arguments with their family, to take on the ''bụi đời'' wandering or street life.
