Here's a cool FB page with a long list of additional phrases.
It seems to be from a language school in Dublin, IE.

Oh it's really cool!
Thank you o/

[tjasonham]

Wonderful. Not sure how I never noticed that it's "se dar DE conta" and not "se dar conta" which is what I've been saying for like... 10 years. This is just as bad as when I realized "trouxe" was not pronounced "trouche" @__@

[mariisoouza]

Hahaha no problem, we can understand anyway and that's why all of us are here, learn o/

Just to add: The term 'chutar o balde' doesn't mean to 'give up' (at least where I live). It means 'to snap', like when you're mad at someone or something.

[mariisoouza]

Yes, the feeling can be madness or anger, but I always listened "chutar o balde" with this meaning, "give up" on someone or something (at least where I live).

[DaveDfromWV]

I find this particularly amusing as a literal translation in (American) English refers to someone dying! ("Oh no. He's not working here anymore. He kicked the bucket.")

[phelipe92]

Pecado means sin, but in portuguese sometimes it signifies "to make a bad thing (not necessarily evil) ". Que pecado! Quantas pessoas pessoas passando fome agora? E você jogou a comida fora = How sad! How many people are starving now? And you threw the food out.
