They say that some cultures have a lot of names and shades-of-meaning for the things that matter most to them. Many of us have heard the legend (largely bunk) that Eskimos have dozens of different words for "snow", for example.
Suitably, then, the Brazilians have more than a word or two for "butt" — popozão, traseiro, bum-bum, bunda, pandeiro...
(Then again, in the U.S., we have butt, ass, can, rump, heinie, fanny, tush...)
When I was visiting in 2008, "Mulher Melancia" ("Watermelon Woman" née Andressa Soares) had apparently taken the country by storm, really for no other reason than a prodigious posterior.
(Perhaps not unlike our own J. Lo, Vida Guerra, Kim Kardashian...)
Anyway... Today, I learn about Cachaça Na Bunda. Basically, "cachaça in the butt" made from cana grossa ("fat cane").
"Baby got bagaço?"
