The Cognitive Gap or Leap: Historically, brat carried negative connotations, describing children who were unruly or spoiled. However, as societal views on self-expression and nonconformity shifted, the term began to acquire a more positive spin, especially within music and fashion circles. (Quoted) This post was written by Kel on Aussie Idioms - Today the changing meaning of BRAT and naughty Children and a Brat Pack. You might wish to follow Kel and his posts on Aussie Slang. OZWORD OF THE DAY: "Brat"I keep running into ‘brat’ as the trendiest word of the moment. The hyper-hip online Urban Dictionary seems to define it in negative terms. According to the Urban Dictionary being a ‘brat’ means being ‘submissive.’ That doesn’t sound like a good thing, does it? Here’s what their definition says (and, yes, this is supposed to be a English sentence)— ‘brat’ means ‘A submissive that likes to push their dom’s buttons on purpose hoping that they’ll punish them.’ Clearly that is a definition that itself requires a bit of defining. Apparently a ‘dom’ is a ‘dominant’ partner, and ‘punish’ in that definition means ‘to have sex.’ But it still sounds as though (for Gen Z and other infants) this is a good thing to be, since the word is now ubiquitous. Dictionary.com takes a totally different line from the Urban Dictionary and says that: ‘In modern pop culture, the word brat refers to someone who is confidently rebellious, unapologetically bold, and…

My photos are selected and demonstrate the charm of this old town situated on the island of Penang. George Town, the capital of Penang, Malaysia, boasts a rich history intertwined with its colonial past. Founded in 1786 by Captain Francis Light of the British East India Company, George Town was established as Fort Cornwallis. This strategic location quickly flourished as a vital port for ships traveling between India and China. During the 19th century, George Town became a significant British settlement and briefly served as the capital of the Straits Settlements, which included Singapore and Malacca. The city's colonial architecture, such as St. George’s Church and the restored Fort Cornwallis, stands as a testament to its historical significance. In 2008,…

Credit phb Vergessen? Vergesslich? Aus neurowissenschaftlicher Perspektive löscht das Gehirn nicht notwendige Erinnerungen. Viele Bereiche unseres Lebens würden ohne Vergessen schlechter funktionieren.

German Tagesschau ARD on Trump & Harris A TV debate on US television lives from images, and at least in this respect Harris was clearly on the winning side. When she spoke, she seemed clear, focused and confident and often looked into the camera with open, sparkling eyes. When it was Trump's turn, she looked over at him, occasionally putting on an amused smile, shaking her head or laughing out loud.   Trump, on the other hand, avoided any eye contact with his rival, mostly looked at the moderators with his eyes narrowed and visibly tried to keep his composure.
