I've seen reference to how this gesture means asshole in portuguese, but it was a tv ad for a car, or a credit card I think.
We're going to need more lube.
Really? that's nuts.
Which ones?
We're going to need more lube.
In turkey it means faggot, so these ads makes sense...
it means three in india. howzzat
Intelligent ads are the need of the hour.
I do like the insight in these but I think the copy kinda ruins it
in braSil, this means OK (with 3 fingers up).
to mean ass hole you need to turn the ad 90 degrees (3 fingers to left or right, and that circle up) AND need to open and close that circle simulating "broken ass".
Really? This gesture means "asshole" in just about everywhere I've been here in Brazil.
a bahia é grande, sampa, a continuação da bahia, também, mas o brasil é bem maior.
quando vc coloca os 3 dedos pra cima mostrando a palma da mão com esse "o" feito pelo polegar e indicador, é OK.
pra significar veado/gay ou "queima-rosca" é preciso colocar o buraco feito com o polegar e o indicador pra cima e fazer ele "piscar" abrindo e fechando o "buraco".
não existe o xingamento "buraco de cú" no Brasil, "meu rei".
aqui é o "pau-no-cú", ou o "queima-rosca"...
não sei o q vc chama de "everywhere", mas eu já morei em 6 estados da federação e, sem o "piscamento" do "o" feito com polegar e indicador, esse símbolo é tão somente OK.
This leads me to believe people's assholes are big and wide open in Brazil.
What the hell's going on down there?
Lol. I wonder if there is a hand gesture for "goatse"
okay ads but nothing exceptional. it's an old concept as well. HSBC did it a couple of years ago. they showed what different symbold meant around the world.
You telling me that this is the most convincing argument someone could come up with for speaking English. Lame.
HSBC the worlds local bank.
