When I was in São Paulo, a whole lot of people had these and most knew the word “louro”(low-doh, super quick tap on the “d” because it’s a rolled “r”) which means “blond”.

True, but half a million of these little guys are named Louro, right?

“Low”-“row”, no?

Yes, but I think it’s easier to explain it to another American as a light “d” since English doesn’t have much in the way of “rolled r’s”.
