What Does This Mean?

[ SLANG ][ MULTILINGUAL NATIVE ]

Brazilian Portuguese slang that departs from the dictionary sense of "resenha" (a critical review of a book or film). Depending on region and group it means a chat ("bater uma resenha" is to have a conversation), a relaxed get-together or party among friends, often with no special occasion (a carioca usage), or teasing ("tirar uma resenha" is close to "tirar um sarro"; "deixa de resenha comigo" means stop messing with me).

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

""Sábado vai ter resenha lá em casa, aparece!", mandou o amigo no grupo."

LORE & ORIGIN

Extension of the standard noun "resenha" (summary or review of a work) into spoken slang. Sources describe the "chat" sense among young people in the periphery of São Paulo and the "get-together" sense in Rio de Janeiro; the pages opened do not explain how the shift happened or give a date. Meanings vary by region and group, and one cited speaker says the word fell out of use in her circle.
