Portuguese term or phrase: CURTO PRA CARAMBA ESSA BREJA

Hi everyone,

I am hoping for a little help with a few terms I am struggling with. I have posted them in separate questions.

I am translating the verbatims from a market research survey regarding an advert for a beer brand. The translation is from Brazilian Portuguese into UK English.

The question asked was “Please describe the ad you just saw, as if you were talking to a friend."

The response is "CURTO PRA CARAMBA ESSA BREJA".

I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can provide.

Many thanks,

Kerryann
