Slang / expressão coloquial brasileira
Portuguese term or phrase: no bom sentido
It means a positive perspective, non-sexual in general. For instance, if you take a Brazilian colloquialism like "troca-troca", "no bom sentido" it means exchanging things, information, etc., but "no mau sentido" it can mean swing, group sex. I don't know any expression in English I can use to translate it.
