Malandreagem

Malandreagem is a Portuguese term often associated with a cunning or clever attitude, typically involving cleverness or street-smart tactics to navigate challenges or achieve goals. It reflects an ability to adapt, improvise, and sometimes manipulate situations with wit and resourcefulness. The concept emphasizes resilience, ingenuity, and a nuanced understanding of social dynamics, often in a context where direct approaches might be less effective. While it can imply cleverness, it also has connotations related to navigating life's difficulties with a pragmatic and sometimes mischievous mindset.
