Full of 9 hours, “Cheio de 9 horas”  in Portuguese, is a Brazilian expression used to describe someone who is overly picky, full of rules, excessive formalities, or very demanding and meticulous.

It originated in 19th-century Brazil, when 9 p.m. (21h) was considered a social “curfew,” marking the proper time to end visits and return home. Staying out after that hour was frowned upon and linked to strict social behavior.

Over time, the meaning evolved from simply “being out after 9” to referring to someone who creates unnecessary difficulties, fuss, or ceremonial obstacles when accepting invitations or doing simple tasks.
