What Does This Mean?
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.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"O jogo travou e meu personagem foi de arrasta pra cima."
LORE & 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.
