The word-ict is out: Top trending buzzwords of 2024 from demure to brat

Hindustan Times  

The year 2024 saw many defining moments, and language stood out as a particularly transformative element. Brat This word gained the title ‘Word of the Year’ by Collins Dictionary and also got a fresh definition, shifting from describing a spoiled child to embodying confidence and a carefree lifestyle. The modern interpretation aligns with a rebellious, bold attitude, cementing its place in pop culture and sparking the viral phenomenon of ‘brat summer.’ Brain rot This year, another word earned the title of 'Word of the Year' from the Oxford Dictionary. On social media platforms, the phrase ‘How many aura points did I lose?’ became a playful way to judge actions and behaviours based on how much they add or detract from someone's 'aura.' Polarisation This word, originating in the early 1800s from the Latin term ‘polaris,’ meaning ‘of the poles,’ was named Merriam-Webster's ‘Word of the Year’ for 2024.'
