What Does This Mean?
Brazilian Portuguese informal expression for a game, app or computer that froze or stopped responding, as in "o jogo travou". It is the past form of the everyday verb "travar"; this entry covers the computing and gaming sense of freezing, not the other meanings of braking or blocking.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
""O jogo travou bem na hora do boss", he said, showing a frozen screen."
LORE & ORIGIN
"Travar" is an ordinary Portuguese verb whose dictionary senses are braking, fastening and preventing; the Portuguese Wiktionary entry does not list the freezing sense, which is a figurative extension seen in everyday computing talk. An Esports.net Brasil glossary uses "travando" in its explanation of lag. No dated first use of the freezing sense is documented.
