Usage Instructions:

• Basic Usage: You can use "bướu gù" to describe someone who has a noticeable hump on their back due to a medical condition or other factors.
• Context: It is often used in medical or health-related discussions.

Example:

• Gù: This word means "hump" or "hunch." It can also be used in other contexts to describe something that is bent or curved.
