A new definition of the word was sparked by the pop star’s summer album title, and made it a term that ‘resonated with people globally’, the dictionary says
, wearing slime green and embracing your inner messiness was on trend. But the lexicographers at Collins dictionary are still firmly in their brat era, naming it their 2024 word of the year.
“‘Brat’ has become one of the most talked about words of 2024,” Collins said. It “resonated with people globally and ‘brat summer’ established itself as an aesthetic and a way of life”. As is often the case when it comes to words of the year, expressions popularised by social media featured heavily on the list. “Yapping” – ie talking too much – has become a popular term on TikTok, as has “looksmaxxing”, defined by Collins as “attempting to maximise the attractiveness of one’s physical appearance”.
