What Does This Mean?
Brazilian Portuguese gaming and tech slang, the past tense (third person) of the informal verb "crashar", meaning that an app, game or system stopped working because of an error and closed or froze, as in "o jogo crashou de novo". It is about software failing, not about a person losing control of their emotions.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
""O jogo crashou bem na hora da final", reclamou o jogador no chat."
LORE & ORIGIN
From the English verb "crash" with the Portuguese -ar ending. English Wiktionary defines the computing verb as to stop running because of an error, so that the program or system halts. The Portuguese form is not defined in the pages opened for this entry, and no dated first use is documented. It is separate from the English internet slang "crashout" (an emotional breakdown) and from "crash dummy".
