only for poets
'[...] and journalists, instead of discussing how, what are the steps in the justice system, how it will enhance the power of the directors of the school, how they will strengthen the technical and vocational education, which is going to be a revolution in the program, etc.., instead of going to discuss major issues that can change Portugal, they quarrel - while the expression - pintelhos' (Edward Catroga, Business Week, SIC NotÃcias, 11.05.2011).
Anda misquoted there - it was' pintelhos "that the electoral program coordinator of the PSD said. Great admiration, ellipsis. They should think that only poets and novelists could use the word: Jorge de Sena, Casimiro de Brito, Augusto Abelaira. 'I go down by hand, carefully, almost one to one, you take away with the fingers pintelhos to find the opening of sex' (No Ceiling among ruins, Augusto Abelaira. Lisbon: Livraria Bertrand, 1979, p . 65).
is true that the most common variant is 'twat', and it only recorded in dictionaries, but not why one should mention evil. The Dictionary of Portuguese Language of Porto Editora, notes that 'cunt' and 'fuck', for example, forgot of twat / pintelho.
