gaúcho

Person from deep south Brazil, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul.

Gauchos are very stand-apart people to the Brazilian standarts, being well-known for their separatism tendences, peculiar accent (interestingly, either loved or hated, but never ignored), and overall very distinctive personality.

Gauchos are normally much quieter and more introspective than the ever-smiling, loud and joyful people from southeast (especially Rio de Janeiro) and northeast Brazil - these, the internationally known "Brazilian standart" -, what leads them to be compared with the generally cold and dark-mooded European people.

Gaúchas (women from the Rio Grande do Sul) are very acknowledged for their distinctive beauty. Most brazilian top models are from the Rio Grande do Sul, including the contemporany World biggest top model, Gisele Bündchen.
He needn't say where he's from - once you hear his accent, you instantly realizes he's gaúcho.
