'Ouro dos parvos' or 'Ouro dos tolos' may be Portuguese equivalents of 'fool's gold'. As is the case with the English phrase, the Portuguese phrase is a nickname for 'pyrite' or 'iron pyrite'.
The masculine noun 'ouro' means 'gold'. The word 'dos' combines the preposition 'de' and the masculine plural definite article 'os' to mean 'of, from the'. The masculine adjectives/nouns 'parvos' and 'tolos' mean 'foolish, silly, stupid people'.
All together, they're pronounced 'OH-roo doo-SHPAHR-voosh' or 'OH-oo doo-SHTOH-loosh' according to continental Portuguese and the carioca accent of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
