A few of my favorite Portuguese words:

Saidera: Last Drink or “one for the road” - From the word Saida meaning exit. There is never just one Saidera.

Gata: Female cat or hot girl

Pedreiro: Bricklayer - I especially like this one because I asked my friend Matias for a good (bad) working class Brazilian cigarette and he suggested (reluctantly) Derby. I grabbed a pack and they were sufficiently nasty and authentic but when I pulled them out at a party, Raphael, laughed and said, “Cigarro do Pedreiro!” Perfect.

Sala de estar: living room but directly translated (I think…wtf do I know?) as salon of the being.

There are a bunch of different Sala de ……. phrases. The Brazilians seem to do this a bunch. Instead of having 20 different words for things they just say blah blah of the blah blah.

Por exemplo. Another favorite

Fio de cabelo: hair

Fio dental: dental floss

Fio elétrico: electrical wire

I’m sorry I’m not putting much up here. I have a few things in the works but I’m finding myself working a little more than expected. I’ll take the work and take the money because I’ve got penty of time. I hope everyone is well and I miss some of you a whole fucking bunch and the rest of you quite a bit.
