In Pt-Br, this is an expression in Brazil and describes the way football players can keep on kicking the ball up, not letting it touch the floor. Milena, Ronaldinho's ex-wife was (or is) known as "the queen of embaixadinhas". How could I possibly translate "quantas embaixadas alguém pode fazer em 30 segundos?" This question would be my context. Thanks.
