to make an exhibition of oneself (to embarrass oneself in public)
çekim: geçmiş paguei mico · ortaç pagado mico · şimdiki paga mico
köken: Literally, “to pay the monkey”, from mico (“informal term for any small, long-tailed monkey”). The term originated in the children’s card game mico-preto, in which there is a pair of cards for several animals, except the mico. The player who finished the game while holding the mico card loses.
PS: Dei uma olhada no post da manhã e pensei em tirar do ar o que falei sobre Bianca. Paguei mico, né? Bem, eu estava doido.
