171

Portuguese Brazil

Slang USED Frequently BY Everyone

In the Brazilian penal code, the article 171 refers to larceny/fraud crime. So the term "um-sete-um" became popular to designate charlatans, deceivers, and impostors.

"Eu não acredito no que ele está falando. Esse cara é 171!"

"I don't believe what he's saying. This guy is 171!"
