In this episode of Carioca Connection, Alexia and Foster continue their conversation about Gen Z Brazilian Portuguese slang. This time they get into the more performative side of the internet.
You'll learn what it means to flopar, how biscoitar somehow became a verb, and what young Brazilians do with the English word slay. Foster tries inventing a few words that don't exist, and Alexia's instant no might be the most useful lesson in the episode. There's also a very carioca defense of biscoito over bolacha, which has less to do with cookies and more to do with where you're from. Enjoy a real conversation in Brazilian Portuguese, while Alexia and Foster come to terms with officially being the older generation now.

E agora em português... 🇧🇷
Neste episódio do Carioca Connection, Alexia e Foster continuam a conversa sobre as gírias da geração Z em português brasileiro. Dessa vez eles entram no lado mais performático da internet. Você vai aprender o que significa flopar, como biscoitar virou verbo do nada, e o que a garotada brasileira faz com a palavra em inglês slay. Foster tenta inventar umas palavras que não existem, e o não na hora da Alexia é talvez a lição mais útil do episódio. Tem também uma defesa bem carioca do biscoito contra a bolacha, que no fundo não é sobre biscoito, é sobre de onde você vem. Aproveite uma conversa de verdade em português brasileiro, enquanto Alexia e Foster aceitam que agora são a geração mais velha.
Como sempre, este episódio está cheio de português brasileiro autêntico que você não vai encontrar em livros didáticos ou aplicativos. Aproveite!
