Being a pig on its hind legs

To make yourself seem more important than a certain group of people despite being little to no different than them.

This originates from George Orwell's novel "Animal Farm", a novel about animals revolting against humans and taking over the farm they were once oppressed in, only for the pigs to later seize all power and end up being even worse than the humans before them.

"It was a pig walking on its hind legs."

- Chapter 10
Guy 1: "Mate, those guys don't study at all! All they do is party!"
Guy 2: "Quit being a pig on its hind legs, all I see you do is be on your PC and failing your exams."

Porto Alegre

Quite large city in the very southern part of Brazil, whose name stands for "happy harbour"
Not a famous place, but it's the capital city of the state where really hot chicks like Gisele Bündchen were born. There are thousands of others just like her.

The bad part is that it's fucking scorching in the summer, and fucking freezing in the winter. With a "gaucha girl" under your blanket/air conditioner, it's not a big problem though
"Oh man, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo are just too damn dirty and full of violence. Let's head to Porto Alegre and do some stacked chicks while we have some chimarrão"

"I got a friend who lives in Porto Alegre - what a lucky guy"

Alegal

An unambiguously wrong, disruptive and often deliberately committed act for which there is not yet a specific law making that act expressly illegal. (See Extralegal) Financial and white collar crimes, such as offshore banking, misrepresenting the value of investments and temporarily selling 'junk' assets to create cashflow are prime examples of "a"legal activities. Alegality is a corollary of the distinction between amoral and imoral reasoning as applied to legality.
Broker#1: We're putting together a portfolio of failing investments so we can sell it investors then short against it and make a killing.
Broker#2: Isn't that illegal?
Broker#1: Nope, just alegal... Now lets get some lattes.

alegria

A very hot girl. Usually very nice and very attractive. She's very forgiving and has a amazing personality. Any man that can get her is one lucky dude! If you can find a Alegria, keep her. She's worth everything.
Person 1: have you seen Alegria dude? She's so amazing!
Person 2 I know. I wish she could be mine.

Alegra

An Alegra is someone you can tell anything to. She might seem normal when you meet her but trust me this girl is weird. She is gorgeous in every sense of the word but is a bad bitch don’t get me wrong. Everyone should have an Alegra in their lives.
Look at that weird bitch staring at the ceiling... oh it’s alegra.
