The text begins to inform that at the time of the protests Folha de S. Paulo, in his Sunday magazine, tried to explain the new meaning of the old and obese Botekimet snack and explained: “This is São Paulo.” To explain the new meaning of the word interviewed the newspaper people who had already heard of “Trump sticks.” Soon it was a consensus on its importance: “Drumstick” is stressed, the right people, who follow the majority. Conventional and conservative people, in short.
But it was Diário Correio do Brasil, from Curitiba – also 2013 – who presented the best explanation for the word that took over the protests. The journal not only sought the new meaning of the word but its relationship with the manifestations. He joined the sociologist Leonardo Rossato and Portuguese teacher Michel Montanha, who prepared a sociological analysis of the “drumstick” and presented a hypothesis about its origin: “Coxinha, sociologically, is a specific social group that shares certain values.
Another significance originated in the poor “lunches” by the police in the 1980s, who received such devalued meals that they were nicknamed “Putty Voucher”. Over time, a police officer and the drum became synonymous. Radio and television police programs eventually expand the new meaning of the word to all these police, civilian or military, who are concerned about security above all. I conclude that the “drumsticks” seem to be identified with Sao Paulo, a typical São Paulo phenomenon of those who claim to be conservative or right, not really know what it is to be right, but simply because they do not agree with the PT ideas. As such, the mayor reacted nervously, but he later said that “in a good mood you decay the atmosphere.”
