In fact, the Portuguese language was brought by the Portuguese colonizers when they arrived in Brazil and started the colonization of this territory that was unknown to Europe. From that moment on, with the beginning of colonization, the language was introduced to the native populations that lived here.
Certainly, the difference between the “Portuguese” is notorious and it is not just about the accent. There are regional and cultural variations that result in different expressions and vocabularies in the two countries, things that are often completely unnecessary for Brazilians. Incidentally, many of the expressions can be characterized as an insult.

1. asshole
This sign was the subject of an inappropriate edition, as it originally indicated the Faralhão Beaches. The site is located in the parish of Sado, in the district of Setúbal. Unfortunately, someone altered the sign to display the word “Caralhão”.
2. Share with the fun
The expression “parthar com o gozão” has a specific meaning in Portugal, referring to someone who is constantly making jokes. Therefore, in the advertisement for M&Ms, when the man mentions to “share with the cum”, it indicates that he is to share with someone who has this fun sense of humor.
3. Handkerchief with open-faced turnip
A little embarrassing, but not what you think! “Punheta de bacalhau” refers to a typical dish from Portugal, served as a snack.

It is important to highlight that these expressions have culinary connotations and should not be interpreted inappropriately.
4. shit liquor
The liqueur in question is a drink that received its name in honor of some of the rulers of Portugal in 1974, when it was created. Interestingly, the liquor brand makes a joke by stating that the taste of the drink does not match its name.
