The sound is a short excerpt attributed to former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, whose blunt speaking style made many of his remarks easy to clip and reuse online. São vagabundos, meaning they are bums or layabouts, circulated as a Brazilian political meme, shared in short videos, reaction edits and messaging groups where supporters and critics alike used it to label opponents as lazy or unproductive. Alongside other Brazilian political meme sounds such as Faz o L Vinheta, it remains in use because the phrase is short, instantly recognisable and adaptable to almost any argument about work, welfare or politics.
