Abraça
1
It literally means to ask someone to hug or embrace something. There was an old expression where it was used with “idéia” (idea), as in abraça essa idéia. But nowadays it is normally found by itself, and with a sarcastic tone.
It is used when the person using it does not agree with a situation. Similar to “oh, sure”, or “oh! of course”, but with sarcasm, expressing nonsatisfaction and indignation.
Examples
- Ih, o chefe falou que ele quer o time todo fazendo hora-extra esta semana…
-
Ah, abraça! Até parece. Eu tenho vida, e não sou obrigado a fazer hora-extra!
- Quer sair comigo esse final de semana?
- Abraça! Acha que saio com alguém como você!?
