BLOCCO - party following a parade float, fenced in and protected by, what is essentially a lot of men and women holding a very long piece of rope.
CAMAROTE - exclusive lounge, with VIP areas, with mildly overpriced drinks and good views from above of the bloccos passing by. what is basically the rich watching the poor go past.
ABADA - t-shirt worn as an entrance ticket into the blocco or camiroce. these are colour coded by blocco/camiroce and by the day. you will not get in without one and is undoubtedly the most expensive t-shirt you will ever buy, so you have to protect it well.
PIPOCA - literally means popcorn. this describes the crowd in general at carnival, and how it looks from the air with everyone jumping around like popcorn popping! but also is used to describe the non-t-shirt wearing crown who are just along for the free ride.
PIRIGUETE - small can of beer, stubby if you will. also means slag.
RESSACA - hangover...
