"Fuck" is a seal in French: Funny language translations?

In France French, “gosse” means kid; In Quebec French, it means testicle (sort of like saying “the boys”, I suppose). Anyway, this leads to occasional misunderstandings, as exemplified by the following joke:

Frenchman: Embrasses-tu tes gosses avant de te coucher ? (Do you kiss your kids goodnight before going to bed?)
Quebecer: J’ai-tu l’air d’un acrobate, moé ? (Do I look like an acrobat?)

Popozão is indeed Brazilian slang for “big butt”. It actually comes from the German “popo” (kiddie talk for butt) and the standard Portuguese ending of -ão for an augmentative.

Other Brazilian slang words for a “big butt” would be “bundão” (from “bunda” for butt) or “bumbumzão” (from “bumbum” for butt).

Why yes, most Brazilian men are indeed butt men. :smiley: The classic Brazilian beauty used to have a bubble butt, strong thighs, and small perky breasts. Lately silicone has also made its inroads into Brazil, and larger breasted women are no longer ridiculed.

I knew there had to be someplace I’d be hailed as goddess! :stuck_out_tongue:
