This is the whole text.

Tínhamos um restaurante. Minha irmã ia trazendo tira-gostos e cerveja, até que alguém pedisse a dolorosa. Eram vários jovens, um deles, o Neco, espírito de porco como ele só, disse que queria encher a cara com minha irmã. Ela, roxa de raiva, não gostou, saiu de trás do balcão para as vias de fato e disse que ia falar com o namorado para encher a cara do Neco. O Cacá, rei do deixa-disso, entrou em campo e disse: Gente a Titita é gostosa, espevitada, loura, mas eu gosto mesmo é de uma loura suada, gelada, depois de uma branquinha pura. Ficaram naquele papo furado: Fulano é o maior vaselina, Cicrano não dá mais no couro, Beltrano gosta de agasalhar um croquete, de empurrar para trás. Aquela conversa fiada, abobrinha pura, continuou por algum tempo, até a chegada do Odilon, cruzeirense roxo. Disse que estava com a pulga atrás da orelha. Tinha dado um rolé com a mulher do bicheiro e ela tinha dito que se ele ao menos sonhasse, ia partir para a ignorância. Eu disse que estava na hora da saideira. O quê? São só quatro da matina. Saideira não dá para rebater. Vamos nessa, disse o Neco, trocando as pernas, amuado.

"butted in"


Explanation:
...Interfere, interrupt, intrude. For example, Mom is always butting in on our conversations, or It's against the law for employers to butt in on personal matters. This term alludes to the thrusting of an animal with its horns. [Slang; 1890s]

To intervene officiously or indiscreetly in the affairs of others: horn in, interfere, interlope, meddle

Asker: Marcelo, that was a good guess, but I understand 'butted in' as 'meter o bedelho'
