In American culture, 'clean cut' often refers to the idealized image of a well-behaved, conventionally attractive young man, popularized in the 1950s and still used today. In Brazil, the term is used more literally to describe appearance and neatness. The phrase carries somewhat old-fashioned connotations in contemporary usage, often used ironically or nostalgically.
