tá na Disney?

Expression USED On Occasion BY Young People

(are you at Disney?) • A way of telling someone they are out of their minds, being too crazy, too naive or saying something that makes no sense.

Portuguese Brazil

senta lá, Cláudia!

Reference USED On Occasion BY Some People

(sit there, Claudia!) • This phrase comes from a video from the 80's or 90's that has resurfaced as a meme on the internet. A famous Brazilian child TV presenter called Xuxa sort of dismissed a girl telling her to "go sit there", and now people use it when they want to do the same to someone, or when you want to imply that something will never happen with a great dose of irony. Used when you want to tell someone to shut up, or when you don't believe in what they're saying, like a "yeah, right".

"A gente devia sair juntos um dia desses!" "Aham, senta lá, Cláudia!"

"We should go out on a date sometime!" "Aham, sit there, Claudia"

Portuguese Brazil

cavalo dado não se olha os dentes

Proverb USED On Occasion BY Everyone

(you don't look at the teeth of a given horse) • It's used when you get something for free or as a gift; it means that since it was given to you, you shouldn't complain about it, even if you don't really like it.

"Eu não gosto muito dessa camiseta que ele me deu, mas cavalo dado não se olha os dentes."

"I don't really like this T-shirt he gave me, but you don't look at the teeth of a given horse."

Portuguese Brazil

rolê

Word USED Frequently BY Young People

(noun) • Rolê is used to talk about the plans and the places you go to have fun with your friends, or simply describe the act of going out somewhere. It can also be used to say that something will be difficult to achieve, and you feel kinda lazy about doing it.

"E ai povo, qual o rolê de sexta feira?" "Que rolê pra chegar na sua casa, hein? É muito longe!"

"What's up guys, what's Friday's rolê?" "What a rolê it is to get to your house, huh? It's too far away!"

Portuguese Brazil

miado

Slang USED Frequently BY Young People

(Meowed) • Miado is actually the way Brazilians describe the sound made by cats, which would be the English "meow". In this context, however, it is used when something is lame like a party that is actually not very nice. It can also be used when your friends cancel the plans they made with you.

"Que festa miada, cara! Vamos embora!" "A gente ia pro bar mais tarde, mas meus amigos miaram o rolê."

"What a meowed party, man! Let's get out of here!" "We were going to the bar later, but my friends meowed it."
