Portuguese dictionaries still have the word "Caralho" in them. It appears as the name given to the crow's nest on caravels in the 15th century, and usually worked as a lookout spot for one or two people.
At this time, expressions such as mandar ao caralho, which literally means to send someone to the caralho, were often used in situations when someone sent another person off to work on an undesired task. As time went by, the expression became famous among whorehouses or casa do caralho where many sailors would go, and from there the meaning of the word evolved into what it is today, a vulgarism for a penile erection.
There is another expression as azar do caralho which means bad luck.
