In America, the word we have to describe when one person cradles inside another is “spoon.” You can even use it as a verb, as in, “I like spooning.” This term does not exist in other countries, such as Brazil.

In Brazil, they compare the cradling to oysters. If you want to tell a Brazilian person you want to spoon, say, “I want to lay like oysters.” No joke.

Yeah it sounds weird to me too, CR. I can’t come up with it.

This was told to me by a Brazilian girl.

I’m thinking the Brazilian girl was *maybe* making fun of you so you’ll make a fool of yourself when you make your way down there?

Just saying…

[...] more thing. Remember when I wrote that Brazilians refer to spooning as “lying like oysters?” I was close—it’s actually to lie like seashells. With the Brazilian girls I met [...]

The expression is “Dormir de conchinha”.
Concha is shell. Conchinha is the diminutive for shell (tiny, small shell).
And it’s definitly not used as a verb.
