Pai de bebe.

One night in Huambo we fancied a drink and found a tiny dive-bar full of Angolan girls drunk off thier asses. We sat down at the only free table, my chair right next to a highly animated girl of questionable personal hygene who was carrying more than a few extra kilos. She immediately insisted I kissed her on both cheeks, and asked my name. Meanwhile a sleeping baby was being passed among her drunk girlfriends like a piece of lost luggage. Very soon my new friend was running her fingers through my hair and telling me among other things that she was just a "simple girl", trying to get a kiss right on the smacker... In my best attempt to fend her off I told her I was a very complicated man.

Then she started to sing to/at me, "Pai de bebe! Pai de bebe!" Litterally "father of drink", but I suppose idiomatically "Suger Daddy". When it became clear to her that I wasn´t in fact going to be her Sugar Daddy in any shape or form she tumbled out of the bar with the rest of her drunk girlfriends and thier baby luggage.
