Art/Literary - Idioms / Maxims / Sayings / Possible regionalism | | Portuguese term or phrase: bizunga | Source: transcription of a folk artist from Pernambuco talking about his work. His language is colorful, poetic, and often obscure. I am attempting to separate his own idioletic usage from possible regionalisms. (There are no illustrations available.)
Transcription mistake? I cannot locate this term in any dictionary.
“Essa mata tem tudo o quanto é bom, eu mostrei tanta BIZUNGA, tanto biquinho de passarinho... É uma história que vou deixando aqui, depois vão ser recolhido num museu, porque daqui dez, vinte ano a criança não vai saber se existe isso aqui... “ |
