But the BRASILEIRAS have MUCH more beautiful name for it, GRIPE. It rhymes with yippee! But trust me, I wasn't screaming yippee when I had it.

The words are super similar in português okay? This week was BONKERS how was conference everyone?! I LOVED WHAT WAS SAID! Well, I think. I watched the entire thing in Portuguese.
