Brazilian singer “Falc\u00e3o”<\/p><\/div>\n

We gotta love slang right? Some slang words go and some stay so today I’m going to teach you 5 slang words that everybody knows and uses (and it’s also safe to use them because they’re not bad words).<\/p>\n

Est\u00e3o prontos?<\/p>\n

01. \u00c0 be\u00e7a, pra caramba<\/strong> – a lot<\/p>\n

Nossa, hoje t\u00e1 quente \u00e0 be\u00e7a \/ pra caramba. – Man, it’s so hot today.
\nTinha gente \u00e0 be\u00e7a \/ pra caramba na praia. – There were a lot of people at the beach.
\n“Voc\u00ea gostou do filme?” “Pra caramba!” – “Did you like the movie?” “A lot!”<\/p>\n

02. Bulhufas, patavinas, nadica de nada<\/strong> – nothing at all<\/p>\n

N\u00e3o entendi bulhufas do que ele falou. – I didn’t understand a word of what he said.
\nEstudava matem\u00e1tica, mas n\u00e3o entendia patavinas. – I used to study math, but I didn’t understand anything at all.
\n“Voc\u00ea gastou todo o dinheiro? Quanto sobrou?” “Nadica de nada.” – “Did you spend all the money? How much was left?” “Nothing at all.”<\/p>\n

03. Estar numa pinda\u00edba<\/strong> – to be extremely broke<\/p>\n

Cara, t\u00f4 numa pinda\u00edba que voc\u00ea nem imagina! – Man, I’m so broke you have no idea!
\nEu ‘tava numa pinda\u00edba quando comprei esse carro. Nem sei como consegui pagar. – I was so damn broke when I bought this car. I don’t even know how I was able to pay for it.
\nEle anda numa pinda\u00edba que d\u00e1 d\u00f3! – He’s been so broke you feel sorry for him.<\/p>\n

04. De lascar<\/strong> – something very difficult<\/p>\n

A prova de ingl\u00eas foi de lascar, hein! – The English test was so hard, wasn’t it?
\nTomar banho no tempo frio \u00e9 de lascar. – Taking a shower in the cold weather is so hard!<\/p>\n

We can also say “se lascar” when you fail at something:<\/p>\n

Me lasquei na prova de matem\u00e1tica. – I failed miserably my math test.<\/p>\n

05. Cafona<\/strong> – tacky, out of style (usually said about clothes)<\/p>\n

Aquela mulher \u00e9 muito cafona. Olha as roupas dela! – That woman is so tacky. Take a look at her clothes!
\nP\u00e1ra de ser cafona e vai trocar de roupa. – Don’t be tacky and go change your clothes.
\nQue m\u00fasica cafona \u00e9 essa? – What kind of tacky song is that?<\/p>\n

The word brega<\/em> has the same meaning as cafona.<\/p>\n
