Why on earth would you pick up that phrase instead of something more useful like, " Give me a cold beer?"

it was actually my mother who picked it up and that's the only thing she remembers, but it does sound kinda neat. I'll try to find the spelling. okay I can't, but it sounds kind of like kater rata tataruga.
and the last two times I was with my Portuguese family I was not of the age to drink. so maybe I should have picked up "give me a cold milk." or "what?", "I don't understand." and probably "where's the tea?" just to be safe.
