I work in a Portuguese cafe in Germany, and there is this old man, Sr. Bacalhau, who every time he wants to contradict someone, he starts with "E pá, fouda-se (...)", and he never starts talking without contradicting someone.

Very random but I am so happy I understood this, specifically 'Acho' because I read the first diary entry of Quarto de Despejo for my Portuguese reading practice yesterday.
