Miercoles - Quarta
I was speaking with some Brazilians today and they were saying something about using the word quarta or miercoles instead of a curse word here in Brazil...or something like this. Unfortunately, I wasn't quite understanding their explanation. Could someone please explain this? Is it true that either one of those words are used here to replace a curse word? Thanks!
Eu estava falando com alguns brasileiros hoje e eles estavam falando alguma coisa sobre usando a palavra "quarta" ou "miercoles" em vez de um palavrão aqui no Brasil....ou alguma coisa assim. Infelizmente, eu não entendi completamente o que eles falaram. Se você poder explicar sobre isso, seria ótimo! É verdade que a palavra quarta ou miercoles esta usado em vez de um palavrão? Obrigada pessoal!

I know this probably isn't relevant, but in Spanish, they use "miércoles (wednesday)" as a subsitution for "mierda (shit)" because they sound alike. I don't think quarta can be used the same way in portuguese though.

A palavra usada representa o quarto dia da semana em português (Quarta Feira)

Infelizmente é como o pessoal explicou aqui em cima, melhor você perguntar para ele porque pode-se algum expressão da região ou alguma giria dele.

Probably they said miércoles (quarta-feira em português) because they didn't want to say mierda (merda em português). It also happens in english when you say: "Oh my gosh!" in the place of "Oh my God!". gosh and God have similar pronunciation, but we say gosh to not use the name of God in vain.
Maybe your friends didn't want to say a bad word in vain. That's why they said: Oh Miércoles!

Além de quarta ser um dia da semana (quarta-feira na verdade), quarta/quarto é um número ordinal. Por exemplo: O piloto perdeu a corrida, ficando em quarto lugar.
