That's really sad, because one day I wanted to go and learn Jogo do PĆ£o. I hear it's a dying art but they're trying to keep it alive.
lol
I believe "jogo da bolacha" is a more common name here X)
Lmao I was confused but I think I see where I got it wrong. I said "bread game" instead of "stick game". XD
Apologies for butchering the language. :)
...Lol the machine translation of "jogo do pau" appears to be...Less than polite? Hahaha.
So, clarification: I think rural stick fighting from Portugal would be really cool to learn. :) lol
Aaaaaah, that makes much more sense lmao
The "jogo do pĆ£o"/"jogo da bolacha" is silly and dirty kids "game", I was quite confused how you even knew about it x)
But yeah, jogo do pau is pretty cool, though I know little about it. It's another slowly dying bit of our culture.
This was a hilarious case of language misunderstanding. XD
I'm still laughing at how accidentally switching two similar words meant that comment must have sounded REALLY freaking weird to you LOL. I learned a valuable lesson here.
Yeah, in NA this is called "limp biscuit"...there was a popular band named after the concept. Gross. š¤¢
XD I was caught very off-guard, ngl
Nice to know x)
