Malandragem () is a Portuguese term for a lifestyle of idleness, fast living and petty crime - traditionally celebrated in samba lyrics, especially those of Noel Rosa and Bezerra da Silva. The exponent of this lifestyle, the ''malandro'' (masculine adjective), or "bad boy" (rogue, hustler, rascal, scoundrel), has become significant to Brazilian national identity as a folk hero or, rather, an anti-hero. It is common in Brazilian literature, Brazilian cinema and Brazilian music.〔"Popular cinema in Brazil, 1930-2001", by Stephanie Dennison, Lisa Shaw, 2004, ISBN 0-7190-6499-6, (section "Malandragem and jeitinho" )〕 ==Characteristics== "Malandro" could be defined as someone who: * Never works and lives off scams; a con man * Is unfaithful and, sometimes, aggressive towards women; * Leads a bohemian life of only fun and pleasure; * Is lazy, sluggish; * Cheats and deceives in order to prevail; a trickster. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Malandragem」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
