Grammatical Information
What is the origin of the term "bratface" and how is it used?
"Bratface" is an English slang term that emerged in the late 20th century as a playful insult for someone, usually a child or young adult, who has a bratty, sulky, or spoiled facial expression. The word combines "brat," meaning a badly behaved or spoiled child, with "face," creating a metaphor that criticizes appearance as a sign of attitude. It is mostly used in informal, teasing, or humorous contexts among friends, family, or in school settings. The term is mildly derogatory, generally more mocking than seriously offensive.
Examples
The little bratface pouted the whole car ride after not getting candy.
