The truth about CALA A BOCA GALVAO

This is my first post in English and there are lots of explanations about the top Trending Topic on Twitter: CALA A BOCA GALVAO.


One explanation:


GALVAO is a very rare bird in Brazil. CALA BOCA means SAVE, the brazilians are very sad because lots of GALVAOS die everyday.


Okey. Let see if this tweet is true, even with this ad talking about the rare bird aka Galvanus brasiliensis:






Or this youtube video shows exactly what I'm saying:







Another explanaition:


CALA BOCA GALVAO IT'S A NEW SONG BY LADY GAGA, IT'S AMAZING!


Check this link from youtube and there's no CALA BOCA GALVAO clip after Alejandro


http://www.youtube.com/LadyGagaVEVO




Even if you check this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Gaga_discography
There is no CALA A BOCA GALVAO single and even if you try to edit, this article is protected.


Now another tweet from someone with a big doubt:


now its real confusing , some says CALA BOCA GALVAO means shut up galvao , some says save a bird , some says a song by lady gaga :o :s


We, Brazilians, like to make some jokes and the last two, the bird and single are only jokes :) The frist one is really true. Is about Galvão Bueno. This Wikipedia link shows some annoying tags that he repeats all time :) That's why we are saying SHUT UP GALVAO. And because of this World Cup, this Trending Topic will be on the top for a long time.


Here is the Galvão that we are talking about

Update (June 16): More about this joke from the New York Times:
