Bridging the Gap - The cultural exchange thread

[Goemar]

An addendum to the whole sandwich ordeal,

on top of calling sandwiches "sanduíche", a lot of brazilians call them "sanduba" which is a shortening and removal of the "-wich" part, which is complicated to say in Portuguese

We also call hot dogs "cachorro quente" (literal translation of the words "hot" and "dog"), and the person who makes and sells hot dogs as "dogueiro" (dogger). Those who have a motorized hot dog cart are named "dogueiro motorizado" (motorized dogger).

A dogger in the UK is someone who goes dogging... very different thing...

And a motorised dogger is... Well.... Someone taking a VERY interesting approach to dogging....

EDIT: Well, i made poutine based on me guessing how to make poutine, i had some chips, i had some gravy, so i melted some cheese up in that bitch, and it was alright, yknow?
