in portuguese, i just came across “por que o vírus da gripe não tem amigos? porque ele é uma má influenza”
translation: “why does the flu virus have no friends? because it’s a bad influenza!”(Influence)
i think it could work in english but sounds better in portuguese.
A joke so old that only boomer & gen-x speakers may get it:
¿Quál clase de auto no va? ¡Nova!
my dad always said we shouldn’t buy a nova “porque no va” :)
in our other language, portuguese, nova means “new” (feminine)
oohh, recuerdo eso
