hey, came across a word I couldn't find, siricotico.... used like this. "ter um siricotico"  all I can work out is that it's some kind of moment significance, like a kodak moment but I'm not sure.

LOL  I love it. Ter um siricotico = to throw a tantrum, to make a scene. Usually the word "siricutico" is not in normal dictionaries.
 
There are several expressions for this:

  • ter um siricutico
  • ter um piti
  • rodar a baiana

Thank you so much for posting this here!
