There are widely used slang in both european and brazilian variants if you want to make those kinds of remarks. Not to mention all the african variants I'm not really familiar with.
- ralmeida 12y agoAs a Brazilian, I agree with ricardobeat. I don't think I ever saw a situation where saying 'rabo' as a slang for ass would be considered even slightly prudish or childish, but always at the very least explicit. The african variations for 'ass' are much more tame (used on TV broadcasts, for example).
- JetSpiegel 12y agoAs a portuguese, that's how it's used here. A sanitized version of slang.
- ralmeida 12y agoOh, I didn't know that. Well, that's a good reminder that pt and pt-BR have several vocabulary differences. A few more I can remember would be the words "bicha" (pt: queue, pt-BR: male homossexual) and "durex" (pt: condom, pt-BR: a kind of adhesive tape).
- JetSpiegel 12y ago"bicha" has already picked up your meaning here in the last years. Endless source of crappy jokes anytime someone says they waited somewhere. :|
- swah 12y agoOur non-offensive words for that are bunda and bumbum. The latter is more common w/ children, but I suppose foreigners would also like the sound.
