Bangador

(noun) - a Brazilian who makes obnoxious noise for no apparent reason and at the most inappropriate time of the day. Usually a Bangador is a construction worker but s/he could also be an apartment owner who is making changes to their home.

It is a contraction of 'bang' (English) and '-ador' (Brazilian Portuguese suffix that determines a lot of professions; the generic for the vast majority of professions is "-or").

Bangador is a word coined by Richard B. Kaplan and introduced into the Portuguese Brazilian language in 1995. It is not in widespread use but seems to be travelling in some circles in the area of Rio de Janeiro.

It is very close in meaning to the term 'baderneiro,' - an older term for someone that likes to make noise and mess all the time.

The Bangador in my building is literally ten feet above me on the 2nd floor and is pounding away with about three or four different hammers at about two different speeds & strengths. It's incredible and I am amazed how someone could make such obnoxious noise. He must be preparing for the Bangador Olympics.

bangalored

You are bangalored when you get fired from your job because it was outsourced to an offshore company. The name derives from the city of Bangalore, India, where a lot of IT jobs in the US are being outsourced.

Dude, I just got bangalored! Now I'm gonna have to train on flipping burgers at McDonalds.

bangalore 

1) A perfect example of how a beautiful city can be ruined by greedy politicans and administrators.

2) The modern face of India, which shows that India is not just about tigers and maharajahs.

3) The back office of the world, where MNC's outsource the work. And oh before you sneer at back office clerks, let me remind you, Intel's latest chip version was developed here. And oh yes G.E. has it's only second R&D center here, after the US, the John F Welch Technology Center, where i worked previously. And dont tell me that all Silicon Valley folks are innovators and inventors.

4) Inspite of the traffic jams, increasing pollution, it still has one of the best climate in India.

5) A city where any person from any corner of India can feel at home. Where it is not mandatory to learn the local language. Where every Bangalorean knows at least 3-4 languages.

6) A city which has one of the best dining out cultures. From pubs to street corner restuarants to fast food outlets to inexpenseive outlets catering to office goers in need of a quick bite, it has everything for any one. And the variety of cuisine is mind boggling, Punjabi, Kannada, Mallu, Mangalorean, Andhra, Bengali to Italian, Thai, Chinese it has everything.

7. A place which has a wealth of options for those seeking to get away during the weekend. From forests to hill resorts to beaches to angling trips, everything is pretty close by.

8. A city where a large percentage of the population is edcuated and knowledgable. Where it is possible to have a good conversation.

Intel, Google, Yahoo, Adobe, GE, Sun all have their R&D units in Bangalore.

Pubbing and clubbing are not alien concepts in Bangalore.

I love Namma Bengalooru.
