In Reply to: Doh! Moment: Watching Brazilian movie tonight..... posted by mr grits on October 3, 2011 at 01:21:47:
Spain, has (in many provinces) a very strange quality: there is a pronounced lisp. It is because, at one time, a king of Spain had a speech impediment and, not to make him feel unusual, the court adopted a lisp. Since the lowers copied everything of the uppers, it spread to the general population.
That said, since you were watching a Brazilian film, and not a Portuguese one, you would have heard a very different sounding language than that of the original country, Portugal. The difference is similar to the that between Cockney and American English.
