Pipico

Pipico is a slang term, primarily used in Brazilian Portuguese, to refer to a person perceived as weak, submissive, or easily dominated. The term carries a strong connotation of lacking courage, willpower, or independence. It is often used in a derogatory manner, implying a lack of masculinity (though it can be applied to individuals of any gender).

The precise origin of the word is uncertain, but it is generally understood to be a pejorative term with origins in informal speech. It is frequently used in casual conversation and may appear in informal writing, but is generally avoided in formal or professional contexts due to its negative and potentially offensive connotations.

Variations in meaning and usage can occur depending on the specific region and context within Brazil. While the core meaning of weakness and submissiveness remains consistent, the intensity and nuance of the term can vary. It's important to consider the social context when interpreting the use of "pipico."
