In Portuguese from Portugal, one of the words for "queue" is "bicha",

In Portuguese from Brasil, "bicha" is a slang word for homosexual and has nothing to do with queues.

So the common Portuguese expression to tell somebody one's going to stand on a queue - "vou para a bicha" (literally "I'm going to the queue") - has a whole different meaning for Brasilians.
