Part three: Brazilian idioms and expressions that I think are cool
Here's part one and two.
"Já que tamo no inferno vamo abraçar o capeta" ('Since we're already in Hell, let's hug the Devil') - If you're already at your lowest, try to make the best of your situation.
"Fazer tempestade num copo d'água" ('Making a storm on a cup of water') - Overreacting about something mundane.
"Corno" (lit. 'horn' or 'horned one') - A corno (fem. corna) is a man who has been cheated on by his girlfriend or wife. It comes from and old legend where a man grew horns every time his wife slept with another man. There's also the corno manso ('tamed corno'), a corno who doesn't know he's being cheated on, and the corno conformado (conformed corno), who knows and doesn't care.
"Procurar pelo em ovo" ('Looking for hairs on an egg') - Making up something to be mad at because you have nothing else to do. So, Twitter.
"Biscoiteiro/Biscoiteira" (From biscoito, the correct word for biscuit) - Originally, a biscoiteiro was a dog that did tricks in exchange for biscuits. Now it's used to refer to people who will do anything for attention, likes, or fame. Like youtubers.
"Vai buscar a mãe na zona?" ('Picking your mum at the brothel?') - Used when someone who's clearly in a hurry bump into you without apologising.
"O sujo falando do mal lavado" ('The dirty complaining about the poorly washed) - Accusing someone of something you also do yourself.
"Relógio quebrado acerta a hora duas vezes ao dia" ('A broken clock gets the time right twice a day') - Awful leaders might make good decisions at some point, but the good does not negate the bad. Usually used when some people praise fascism and its supposed "efficiency".
"Vá coçar o cu com serrote" ('Go scratch your arse with a chainsaw') - A fancy way of telling someone to fuck off.
"A cobra vai fumar" ('The snake's gonna smoke') - Things are going to get dangerous. Back in the interwar period, people used to say it was more likely for a snake to smoke a cigarette than to Brazil to go to war. Then we joined WW2 on the side of the Allies, and the quote became more of a threat than anything else.
"Rei morto, rei posto" ('Dead king, crowned king') - Life goes on, and no matter how much you think you're imporant to a job or community, you will be replaced as soon as you're pronounced dead.

Hello friends! :D
Have any of you heard of what I call the "Childhood Roly-Poly" effect?
It's a common thing I hear people say a lot where I live but I don't know if it is a thing outside of here
It states that only pure hearted people, mostly children, can find roly-polies
Kinda like they are some kind of spirit of the forest or fairy, which will only be visible to you in your childhood :P
And that after someone grows up or becomes a bitter person they never find them anymore.
The actual explanation for that is very simple: children play outside and find and notice bugs much more than adults, and roly polies specifically are bugs most kids find cute and interesting.

Peace on Earth, but only to those of Good Will
People of Ill-Will don't get a pass just 'cause of a date on the calendar.
Just sayin'.
To people of Good Will: Rest Merrily!

in books and stuff people always like "I know this place like the back of my hand!!" but does anyone really memorize the backs of their hands? like. if you asked me where the freckles were on my hands I would have ✨not a clue✨. and, really, if you asked me where the secret vault was in the back of my hand I would look away because I have no idea what you're talking abou

Common example
people use the chicken vs egg thing often but it doesn't make sense to me. The first pure chicken game from an egg. The egg that held the first real chicken would've came from a chicken like creature that wasn't a pure chicken.

This is my petition to make the meanings of an uphill battle and all downhill from here opposites of each other and like stealing candy from a baby should mean something is easy to do but morally questionable while slept like a baby would be when you didn't sleep at all because you were crying all night.
#funny#i mean i hope its funny#but also this is serious#an uphill battle#all downhill from here#like stealing candy from a baby#slept like a baby#common sayings#and you can quote me on that

“We need more weird queer people” Y’all can’t handle 90% of the ways multigenders label their sexualities
#this was originally gonna say ‘yall can’t even handle sapphilleans’#then i considered using male/female lesbians or male sapphics or gaybians#then i thought about using het gays#but then i realized what they all have in common and combined them all into one.#multigender#bigender#nonbinary#genderfluid#enby#trans#genderqueer#polygender#xenogender#sapphillean#gaybian#lesboy#transunity#trans unity#transmultiphobia#red speaks

Mirrorman Episode 13 (1972) / Chojyuu Sentai Liveman ED - Ashita Ni Ikiru Ze! (1988) / Kamen Rider Black Episode 50 (1988) / Kamen Rider Fourze Episode 2 (2011)
To fight for this world means to love it.
#common sayings#this is unrelated to my other post about web weaving tbh#did i put too many flowers in the kamen rider black section? yes. would i change it? absolutely not#there was just something about 1988 and toei studios writing about heroes fighting people they had once loved and who were (voluntarily or#involuntarily) throwing away their humanity#i am always the first to bring up the mirrorman episode but i do feel like i cheating a little with it because Kyotaro got blinded in that#episode and his vision was healed by the end of it which is why he is appreciating the sky#though i guess its still a toku hero loving nature which counts for the purposes of this photoset#long#long post

fun fact: in the 50s the Kent cigarette brand had a type of cig with micronite filters that literally had crocidolite in them, aka BLUE ASBESTOS, literally THE most lethal type of asbestos by a mile. and you could just buy it at the store and huff it
#even tho it was less commonly used than chrysotile or amosite asbestos a lot of sources im seeing say it may have caused more cancer deaths#citation needed on that but it really is much more lethal than the other types despite being a bit less common#it was also used in gas mask filters in like the 30s. though white asbestos seems to more commonly have been in gas masks overall#<- white asbestos is chrysotile

ok but bsd chapter 114 revealing the flipside of the soukoku dynamic in all its glory like *chef's kiss*
turns out that when the mission's (almost) done and you put skk in a room with no witnesses they just become each other
dazai is the one unable to stay still, agitated and wearing his emotions openly and very much stressing about a plan he can't understand (how the tables do turn), literally YELLING and RUNNING of his own violation and doing actual labor of pulling out "fyodor" from beneath a whole ass helicopter while injured without asking for help because the brawns of the team is actually secretly a black cat character
insane how chuuya makes dazai look like the overactive dog archetype here like Mister Gravity Control and I Crack Walls & Chains With One Kick is just sitting full-on cheek on fist poker face watching his beanpole of a partner struggle. his health bar is like full too besides the brief drowning stint meanwhile he himself shot dazai like three times after he crawled out of a crashed elevator
(chuuya is actually such a little shit it's amazing like it was kinda shown in him just letting kunikida blow himself up without even trying to take on tecchou or as if he couldn't just fly the helicopter away with his ability? the pm's trump card, stronger half of soukoku? mans said "boss told me come get you" and by god that is the only job he will do, overtime means nothing to him because he can't read, what a king)
chuuya is literally only willing to do the BARE minimum it's hilarious like he's done his part, he's given the Oscar-winning vampire performance of a lifetime, now he's pulling a dazai-at-the-ADA and simply refusing to work like. chilling in the back while dazai monologues and fyodor dies. bouncing sigma like a tennis ball. chilling a corner while dazai brainstorms. leisurely following dazai's running. chilling in the back while dazai huffs and puffs to pull out the body.
the biggest bsd plot twist is that soukoku on and off the battle field just switch roles for who's lounging like a bored princess while the other toils and actually does the work. if they both ever actually work on something at the same time yokohama would probably explode.
#god imagine if thats how mori kept them from accidentally destroying the country#with their combined overpowered-ness and utter lack of common sense#“mori says its my turn to Think”#“oh thank god i've been waiting to sit around like a useless log”#the sigma show#soukoku#dazai osamu#nakahara chuuya#bsd#bsd manga#bsd ch 114#my post
