Glossary entry (derived from question below)
Portuguese term or phrase:
Carteirada
English translation:
Coercive Intimidation
Portuguese term
Carteirada
I need one word, if possible. "Carteirada" is also known as "jeitinho Brasileiro" and is represented by the famous phrase, "Você sabe com quem está falando"? or "Do you have any idea who I am????" used when people want certain benefits or special treatment because of their title, etc.
There is not much context, sorry.
