The word “tchutchuca” was popularized in the early 2000s by the Rio funk group Bonde do Tigrão, with a song of the same name. The political nickname already existed: in 2019, congressman Zeca Dirceu used it in a committee, and minister Paulo Guedes reacted angrily. The meme took off on August 18, 2022, in Brasília, when YouTuber Wilker Leão called Bolsonaro “tchutchuca do Centrão.” The president reacted sharply and grabbed the YouTuber by his shirt.
