Yup, you guessed right. We use W.O. with the same meaning as in English, especially in soccer matches. When the other team fails to appear, or there isn't enough players in one team, the other team is considered the winner by W.O. (or vencedor por W.O.).
And although most Brazilians know what is a W.O., they have no idea that it means Walk Over.
- Quem venceu o jogo ontem?
- O São Bento venceu por W.O. do Juventus.
By force.
- Agora só temos dois dias pra convencer o cara a jogar.
- Ih, vai ter que ser na marra então!
A golddigger.
- Cuidado com a Silvia mano, ela é a maior interesseira.
A "redneck" who goes to the beach for a day, brings his own food and has no consideration for anyone else around. He/she generally are the typical light-skinned irritating day tourists that crowd the beaches in Brazil.
It has turned into a term to describe people who are inconsiderate to others and don't want to fit in.
Those farofeiros who are always eating chicken with farofa, make so much noise, don't clean up after themselves and have no consideration for other people!
João is such a farofeiro, he could care less about anyone else around him!
A "dog sucking a mango". This expression is used to say that someone is very ugly. Not simply ugly, but unbearable ugly.
- Olha que mina feia!
- É! É o cão chupando manga!
Same as "bro". Some time ago, it would be seen as very rude. And even now you don't hear may kids using "Mano" while talking to their parents. But you can use it interchangeably with "Cara" while talking with your lads.
- Eae mano, de boa?
- Opa, suave na neve.
"Cara" means "face" or "dude". When you want to talk about someone, you can use it in the same way you would use "Guy".
- Quem é aquele cara? (Who's that guy?)
