This unique work humorously defines Portuguese terms through witty and clever commentary, often reflecting on social and cultural issues in Portugal and Brazil. The author's aim seems to be to illuminate the richness of the Portuguese language while poking fun at various aspects of society through playful definitions and anecdotes. The opening of the dictionary presents a preface where the author expresses his intention to offer a blend of instruction and entertainment, acknowledging the influence of a French work titled "Le Carnaval du Dictionnaire." He highlights that the definitions within are not merely dry explanations but infused with humor, satire, and social critique. The subsequent sections include a series of clever and amusing word definitions that continue this style, illustrating how common terms can embody deep societal insights and foibles. Each entry engages with a range of themes, such as politics, human behavior, and societal norms, setting the tone for a work that is both a linguistic exploration and a reflective commentary on the human condition.
