A man from Minas Gerais gave an interview entirely in "uai", "pão de queijo", and "trem" leaving the interviewer and viewers baffled. The interview started well, with standard questions about the man's life, but as he opened his mouth to answer, the interviewer didn't understand a word he said.
The man spoke entirely in the regional slang, using words foreign to the interviewer and the viewers. The interviewer asked him to clarify, but the man just kept repeating the same words, "uai", "pão de queijo", and "trem". Eventually, he gave up and let the man talk, recording the whole thing.
We've obtained exclusive footage of the interview, and it's a doozy. The first question was simple enough: "Could you tell us about yourself?" To which the man replied, "Uai, eu sou mineiro, sô." The interviewer was at a loss for words and tried to power on.
"Can you tell us about your background?" he asked. The man replied, "Po, cê tá afim de pão de queijo aí, sô. Pão de queijo é trem bão demais da conta." The interviewer couldn't believe his ears. Was this man really talking about cheese bread in response to a question about his background?
The interview went on like this, with the man talking entirely in slang and the interviewer trying to make sense of it. At one point, the man tried to describe his job, saying, "Eu trabaiô cum trem, sô." It took the interviewer a moment, but he eventually realized the man was talking about working on the railway.
By the end of the interview, the man had spoken entirely in "uai", "pão de queijo", and "trem", leaving the interviewer and viewers none the wiser about his life. But the interview quickly went viral, with many people finding the man's slang charming and endearing.
Some people even started using the slang themselves, with "uai" and "trem" becoming popular catchphrases on social media. And as for the man who gave the interview, he's become something of a local celebrity, with people flocking to meet him and hear him speak.
It just goes to show that even in a world full of standardized language and rigid communication norms, there's still room for a little creativity and spontaneity. Who knows what other regional slang is out there waiting to be discovered?
