the way non-portuguese spell lisboa...
The city is named lisboa, not lisbon... even the damn tourism misspells it, probably becuase its "hard" to pronounce.
Its not... dont disrespect my country and say lisbon

A crappy town in northern New Hampshire. It mainly consists of run-down apartment buildings and a factory where the mafia burns its debtors. There is a wire mill, but just give it time, it will be assimilated. Most men look like they've answered "Yes" on all drug tests and own at least a nation's worth of firearms. And almost every woman looks like they received plastic surgery from a head-on collision bus. And for the kids, one look and you'll instinctively reach for your pocket to make sure your wallet's still there. Alternatively, it can be used as an insult.
Example One: Hey, stay off this road; it brings you to Lisbon.
Example Two: Shut up, you Lisbon ass, boarding pass, passing gas piece of trash.

Lisbon - A city whose native population are largely thieves. Readers Digest planted "dropped" wallets in 16 western cities, twelve in each city, each with $50, family photo and phone number of the "owner". They kept track of how many of the wallets were returned by the finders. Helsinki, Finland was most honest with 11 out of 12 returned. Lisbon was least honest with 1 out of 12 wallets returned. But it turns out, the single returned wallet was returned by tourists from Holland!

A tall tale.
A rhyming slang phrase dating back to Mediaeval times when Sir Guy of Gisburne spread unfounded rumours about Robin of Loxley (aka Robin Hood).
The phrase "You're telling a Gisburne" has been adulterated over the years, and its rhyming equivalent (a "Lisbon") has gained popularity wihtin cyber-space message boards.
