Just watched some sketches of João Kleber's candid camera show, and iin one sketch the host calls some female passers-by "Piranha" and then their temper flares...so I guess it may be a very offensive term....

answer:
huh! i see...
and yes, its very offensive to call some1 that way.
meaning "in" ur sentence:
piranha = *********.
translation:
piranha = a kind of fish/ woman that has sexual relation with any1!
p.s.: i dont understand why some1 rated it as a bad answer, for sure this person doesnt live in brazil as i do!!!!!
by the way, anything else about portuguese language and about brazil, u can ask me and i ll be glad for helping u!
see u
