--------------------------------------------------

Era comum o sargento colocar um soldado em treinamento como chefe do grupo, chamado de xerife, para uma tarefa específica.

(...)

Por isso, ser xerife era o maior temor de todos, pois significava ridicularização certa. Vi meninos serem destacados como xerifes e caírem no choro.



Example sentence(s):
  • Xerife, leve a tropa para o refeitório.
