petralha

== Portuguese == === Etymology === Coined by Brazilian journalist and columnist Reinaldo Azevedo around 2006, blending petista (“Workers’ Party supporter”) +‎ metralha (“machine-gun shot”), in reference to the Beagle Boys (“Irmãos Metralha”, literally “Machine-Gun Brothers”), bandit characters by Disney whose raison is to rob Scrooge McDuck; the color of their shirts, red (same as that of the Workers’ Party), contributed to the association. Alternatively, commonly analysed as a blend of petista +‎ tralha (“junk”). === Pronunciation === Rhymes: -aʎɐ Hyphenation: pe‧tra‧lha === Adjective === petralha m or f (plural petralhas) (Brazilian politics, derogatory, offensive, neologism) supportive of or related to the Brazilian Workers' Party Hypernym: petista === Noun === petralha m or f by sense (plural petralhas) (Brazilian politics, derogatory, offensive, neologism) a person who supports or is affiliated with the Brazilian Workers' Party Hypernym: petista ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== === References ===
