Bedeutung
To pretend to be ignorant or incapable to avoid responsibility.
Kultureller Hintergrund
It is a very common expression in everyday life, often used with a wink or a smile. The phrase is understood but less common than in Brazil; Portuguese speakers might prefer 'fazer-se de parvo'.
Use it with a smile
Because it's informal, using it with a smile makes it sound like a joke rather than an insult.
