sem noçao
literally: "without any notion"
1. an expression used in Brazil to describe someone who is clueless, sometimes cheeky and that has absolutely no respect whatsoever for the rules that govern life in society.
2. alternatively, the expression can be used in a more positive way, when the absence of norms is actually more than welcomed! As such, the expression can be used to describe a party that is so insanely out of control, you begin to regret that you're probably too drunk to remember anything the next morning!!!
