There’s a fascinating This American Life episode about that currency story https://www.thisamericanlife.org/423/the-invention-of-money/act-one

2025-05-19 11:58:53 +0000 UTCAs a Brazilian living in São Paulo, it was both fun and fascinating to hear about your travel experiences and compare them to my first trips to the U.S. There’s a word in Portuguese that perfectly describes what you experienced with the go-karts at Independence Park: “perrengue.” It means going through a tough or awkward situation that requires some effort (and usually patience or humor) to get through. So congratulations: you came to Brazil and faced a perrengue! That makes you a little bit Brazilian already. Once again, thank you both for your time and kindness at the community meetup. As someone who’s considered hopping on a plane just to attend one of meetups in the US (and who actually missed the GDC meetup by one day!), it was surreal to meet Ben and Jacob here in São Paulo. Obrigado for the love! Come back soon and bring Janet! Now that I gave Ben a jersey, I need to take her to a football match :)
