"bica" meaning in Portuguese

See bica in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈbi.kɐ/ Forms: bicas [plural]
Rhymes: -ikɐ Etymology: Deverbal from bicar. According to folk etymology, the coffee sense is an acronym of Beba Isto Com Açúcar (“drink this with sugar”). This etymology appears to have come from a 1998 text, however, and the term most likely came about as a way to differentiate between machine coffee and coffeepot coffee.
