Lol. I like that last one.
Also, I always thought you had something to do with Brazil, because of your username being "Touquinha."

I thought you were brazilian too: Touquinha. haha! Nice!
Probably you've learned some nice ways to swear too, haha!
We have a good blend of german, italian and portuguese, alongside people from Holland (most people don't even know that we do have some netherland's blood in our people's culture, specially the northeast side of Brazil) and, of course, africans and indians. So... pretty much we know how to say agressive or funny stuff. XD

The apelido "Toquinha" was actually given to me when I went through my first batizado, although I'm still unsure as to its meaning...it either means "little toque" as in, a type of head wear, or as in a rhythm section ("Toque do berimbau"). Although "Toquinho" is supposed to mean tree stump, isn't it?
Let me see if I can explain it:
- touquinha (diminutive of touca) - it's a type of head wear... in fact, it's one of those common things that usually you put when it's really cold. Made of cottom strings;
- toque/toquinho - it's the sound, and can be used as "toque do berimbau", or "toque da guitarra". The "inho" thing is just a diminutive;
- toco and diminutive form toquinho - it's the tree stump, yes
Usually when we use diminutive in a nickname, it means something like "care", or thta you're close to this person. It's a cultural thing, I can't really explain, really.
"Toquinha"...can be anything you said, in reality. Haha! Nice nickname!

not in the moment
I could go to the capital to compete but I would have to take a bus or go by car and I would have to literally cross the entire state for that =P
If I wanted to go by plane to any other competition I would have to go to the capital by bus or car first and get the airplane there because the only city in the state with airport is there, there are some other cities with airplanes like the last I lived and other one near where I will move but it's a more expensive jet and statistically less secure
and I will move farther away from the capital, 7 hours away by car
