> Valetudo is the roman name for the greek goddess Hygieia which is the goddess of health, cleanliness and hygiene. Also I’m bad at naming things.

In case you don't know it, it's also a TV show in Portugal:

And a famous Brazilian soap opera from the 80's:

And a style of fight:

It basically means "anything goes" in Portuguese... hence why the variety of uses for the phrase.
