Question

What does sacanagem in Brazilian Portugese mean?

Answer 1

sacanagem can be considered a slang or a verbal insult. If it's used in a sentence which the person is trying to say something like "d**n it our car broke down!" In Portuguese "d**n it" would probably be replaced with "sacanagem" it can mean many things really, it doesn't have a specific meaning in English, it can be "d**n it", "oh c**p", "WTF?" and other actions like that. Now for the verbal insult the word changes a little bit and turns into "Sacana" instead. If someone comes to you and say "Voce e um maior sacana!" it means something like "You're such a douche bag!" somewhere between those lines.

Hope that helps! :D
