Literal translation of the Vietnamese expression so muoi , to mean something or somebody is bad (i.e.: would be ranked tenth in quality). There doesn't seem to be any other ordinal numbers that colloquially denotes anything else.

The antonym of so muoi is so mot - Number one (just like in English).

The institution that makes up the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and his core advisors is sometimes called to as 'Number ten', a reference to where his office is situated on Downing Street.
