“Brat”, word of the year 2024 for Collins Dictionary

The word of the year, according to the publishers of the English expository Collins dictionary, became “brat,” whose original meaning is brat, harant or grumpy. However, thanks to British singer Charli XCX, it has been given a new dimension. It describes someone who is “confident, independent and enjoys life.” The artist also used it for her sixth studio album.

Slovem roku se podle vydavatelů anglického výkladového Collinsova slovníku stalo „brat“, jehož původní význam je spratek, harant nebo škvrně. Díky britské zpěvačce Charli XCX však dostalo nový rozměr. Popisuje někoho, kdo je „sebevědomý, nezávislý a užívá si života“. Umělkyně ho použila i pro své šesté studiové album.
