Synopsis "Vocabulario Popular de Porto Velho: Porto Velho Vox Pop / Vocabulaire Populaire de Porto Velho (in Portuguese)"

Porto Velho is another of Brazil's "last frontiers", a place where the adventurous or unemployed have gone to find fortune or flee misery. Given any community's natural tendency to reshape the meaning of words to fit local context or invent new words for new things (Brazil has at least 6 words for speed hump), as well as Brazil's common tendency to various types of linguistic imprecision, bringing them all together in a city essentially founded by Americans, with workers from various parts of the world, and encountering dozens of local tribes, confusion was almost inevitable.. Being a translator/interpreter makes me (Simon) a bit more anal about words than Beto who is more into the real world. Many a time I commented "but this actually means X!", to which he replied: "Yes, interesting isn't it!"All of Simon's earnings go towards funding www.antoninomuseum.com
