Que saco!
🇧🇷 Portuguese slang from Brazil
What does “Que saco!” mean?
What a drag!
Example
“Que saco, perdi o ônibus de novo!”
Ugh, I missed the bus again!
Good to know
Literally "what a sack" (with a crude origin, scrotum). Mildly rude but very common. "Encher o saco" = to annoy.
Who you can say it to
With friends, not your boss
😮 Reactions
The textbook way to say it: Que coisa chata!
Heard in a conversation
First date at the boteco
Pedro Fechou. Duas brejas geladas, por favor! Então... tá curtindo o trampo novo?
Deal. Two ice-cold beers, please! So... are you enjoying the new job?
Larissa Tô curtindo, mas meu chefe é mó chato. Fica no meu pé o dia todo, que saco!
I'm enjoying it, but my boss is super annoying. He's on my back all day, what a drag!
Pedro Putz, que chato. Mas esquece o trampo, hoje é sexta: sextou!
Dang, that sucks. But forget work, it's Friday today: Friday's here!
😩 How other countries say “What a drag!”
