I had (and I'm still having) lots of fun with the stories of Mr.
Feynman! ;oD
Interesting to see that there are so many friends on this list who are
interested or indirectly connected to brazilizan culture and language. I'll
not decline names, but you two (Toby and Liam) are two of a crowd :oD
(and I do agree with the observations of Mr. Feynman!)

Feynman spoke what he called "Feynman Portuguese". It was... rather
eccentric, but then, he was an eccentric man and he learned it an
eccentric way:
I like the "consequentemente" story; that's exactly how it is. I can't
count the number of times I've got out of a similar fix by guessing...
"maioridade," "frequentemente," etc.
