Talk:brim
`brim` is used to refer to jeans (the cloth, used to make pants) in Portuguese[edit]
(At least in Brazil)
I am not sure if I should create an entry for that meaning (maybe there are rules here on how this works), but as a native speaker of Portuguese, I can totally say it is the case. In fact, the Portuguese Wikipedia has a (very very short) article on `brim`: https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brim
Translation of what is there:
"Brim is a resistent fabric made out of linen, cotton, synthetic fiber, etc. It is a fabric appropriate for handcrafting, like production of purses and `fuxicos`, production of resisting clothes, lining for sofas (only to cover them), among others" [I tried keeping the translation very literal. The `like` in the second sentence is actually "as-is" in the text (the text is very bad). Still, where I come from, anyone can say "calça de brim" (`brim` pants) to refer to jeans pants]
Also, the pronunciation should be [brĩ:] (sounds very close to "bring" in English, removing the `g` sound).
