Marketing - Marketing / Market Research / customer satisfaction survey from a gas supplier
Portuguese term or phrase: plim
Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this term, I can't seem to find it anywhere.

It is from Brazil and is to be translated into UK English.

This is from a customer satisfaction survey for a gas supplier. The question asked was "Finally, do you have any additional comments to make regarding your experience with {#Unit}?"

The answer was "Que continuem assim: atendimento rápido, prático e plim!!!"

I was wondering if this is a slang term or a spelling mistake?

Many thanks for your help.
