chapéu-mexicano

Portuguese

Etymology

From chapéu (“hat”) and mexicano (“Mexican”). Probably an analogical translation of the Spanish sombrero (“hat”), considering the football-related meaning of the term in Spanish and Portuguese ("chip"), as well as the English meaning, which refers to the sombrero de charro, typical of Mexico.
