Origin of the slang word “ta rocheda”
The expression became popular in one of the songs by the group Os Barões da Pisadinha, which had a hit with the name “Tá rocheda”.
Slang has always been very common in North East, but it entered the popular taste of Brazilians when the song exploded throughout the national territory.
In the Northeast, mainly in Ceará and Pernambuco, the expression is famous for being present in the vocabulary of pirangueiros, young people from the suburbs who have a unique way of dressing and a characteristic way of to communicate.
In the music of Barões da Pisadinha, what does the expression mean?
The lyrics of the song are basically about a date, in which the interpreter takes a woman to dinner and she goes to the bathroom and disappears, when he goes to look for her, she is with another man.
In the chorus of the song, it is sung:
“It's a rock, I can't even see it
Trust me, you deserve an award
Of the most outlaw woman in the world”.
In this case, the interpreter uses the expression “tá rocheda” with irony, in the sense of “did you cheat on me? Cool, great attitude, congrats, you deserve an award.”
