@davidfruner.bsky.socialSORRY SORRY SORRY with all this jargon, but Google Translate understands "Ela é uma jaritataca" as "She is a skunk", but DeepL proposes "She is a troublemaker" as a translation option!
Show PostSkunk can be "cangambá", though some Brazilians shorten it down to "gambá" (which actually means oppossum). The PT Wiki even says "Cangambá - mammal, often confused with the oppossum." I way prefer "jaritataca", which can ONLY mean skunk. Meaning... Jacinta a Jaritataca!
Show PostOi, Jacinta! Que bom ver você! (Hi, Hyacinth! How good to see you!) "Jacinta" would be her name in Portuguese; confusingly they also use that name for "jacinth"... okay, just looked up the stone, hyacinth's a valid name for it too. I know she's specifically named after the flower, but... uh...
Show PostThat and she probably watches surveillance at home, too! I told you she’s evil!
