“Bruh” is the Dutch Children’s Word of the Year 2024

The slang word “bruh” was selected as the Children’s Word of the Year 2024 in a poll held by NOS Jeugdjournaal. The word “bruh” is used to express disbelief or disappointment, but also can be used in response to something funny or silly. Like the word “bro,” often a friendly reference to an individual, bruh is derived from the English word, brother. Since early December, children have been able to submit words that they think should have a chance of becoming Children’s Word of the Year via the NOS Jeugdjournaal website.
