Arame:
Arame is a Brazilian Portuguese for “Wire”
In Capoeira, we Capoeiristas are given a code name based on a characteristic that stands out. My temper is my most notable trait so I was given the name, Wire because of how “High Strung” I am

Oh that’s interesting. I’ve heard about certain cultures that do that. Especially when it comes to whatever handle people call you based on personality and whatnot.
Well I can’t speak for other cultures. But in Capoeira, the whole reason we get code names is because practicing Capoeira was illegal. So if a Capoeirista was arrested and interrogated to give up the rest of the group, he/she would give the police the group member’s code name so the cops could never find them.
