ARRASTA PRA CIMA— ORIGIN, MEANING & USAGE

arrasta pra cima Brazilian Portuguese catchphrase ("swipe up") used by creators and influencers on Instagram Stories to tell viewers to swipe up to open an attached link. It stayed in use as a recognisable influencer phrase after the feature was replaced.

Origin:Correio Braziliense (1 Jul 2021) reports Instagram testing link stickers for Stories while the swipe-up link was limited to accounts with more than 10,000 followers or a blue badge. Olhar Digital (21 Sep 2021) says Instagram replaced the swipe-up link with a link sticker and that the change "killed" the famous catchphrase. The phrase differs from the sibling entry on "ir de arrasta pra cima", which is a later death euphemism built on it.
First Seen:Before 2021 (swipe-up links already in use; replaced by the link sticker in 2021)
Peak Era:2020s
Aura Impact:+1 Aura (Recognising The Reference)

EXAMPLE USAGE

""Gente, o link do sorteio está nos stories, é só arrastar pra cima!""

IR DE ARRASTA PRA CIMA— ORIGIN, MEANING & USAGE

Ir de Arrasta pra Cima A euphemism for dying or definitively ending — "going by swipe-up" — a death metaphor built on Instagram's now-defunct swipe-up gesture, treating being swiped away and gone as a comedic stand-in for permanent departure.

Origin:Brazilian Portuguese internet slang that builds its death euphemism specifically on Instagram Stories' now-retired swipe-up interface gesture — a rare case of a defunct app interface element surviving as living slang vocabulary long after the feature itself was removed.
First Seen:2022
Peak Era:Not established
Aura Impact:+1 Aura (Using it for harmless gaming/joke context) / -1 Aura (Using death-euphemism slang insensitively about a real tragedy)

EXAMPLE USAGE

"O jogo travou e meu personagem foi de arrasta pra cima."
