pipoqueiro
n.— «These prices are impossibly high for many of the genre’s low-income fan base which isn’t to say they get left out—this is a street party, after all. Low-budget revelers cram the sidewalks or trail along behind the rope held by the trios to discourage pipoqueiros (popcorners, a term used to describe party crashers who try to sneak inside the rope with the paying fans).» —“Brazil with a Z: Salvador’s One-Note Music Scene” by Naitze Teng in Salvador, Brazil PopMatters Nov. 1, 2006.
