Thanks for the explanation mate, that makes a lot more sense.

I'm portuguese and I always thought that veado was the word, just that "e" was "stressed" to sound like "i". I didn't know until today that there were actually two words

Some prescriptivists would argue "viado" isn't an actual word, and that even the slur should be spelled "veado". But just like "buceta" the misspelling has become way more popular than the original word.
