Batuque - Vol. 3 Ch. 29 - Malandragem

I'm late, but if anyone cares, here's your portuguese trivia for the night.

Malandragem is a word that is rooted on the term "malandro", which usually refers to an individual who's lazy and/or cunning.

To present an example, Tom Sawyer is a character who would fit the label.

Therefore, if you want a rough "1 by 1" translation of malandragem: slyness, shrewdness or "streetwiseness" would be close approximations.
