Rio’s slang

Caô

In Rio, if someone is telling a lie, you don’t say they are lying, but they are “metendo um caô”. “Caô” as well as the expressions “lorota” and “papo furado”, in Rio’s slang dictionary, means lie.
For example:
Para de caô, eu já sei que você não foi para Copacabana!”
Stop lying, I already know that you didn’t go to Copacabana!”
