Portuguese here. "Diz que vais cagar e baza", which translates to "Say you go shit and get outa here", when someone is not welcome.

    Oh, another one: "deves comer gelados com a testa", which translates to "you must eat icecream with your forehead", a not so soft way to call someone stoopid

    Brazil "eu caguei e andei" (I shat and walked). Functionally equivalent to "I don't give a shit" but in Portuguese one actually shits but doesn't care to wipe and walks away or walks at the same as is shitting.
