A scroll through social media would have you believing you don't know English as well as you thought you did - with complex Gen Z slang taking over the general vernacular.

From people claiming they're having a 'brat girl summer' with their 'rodent boyfriends' who are wearing outfits that are 'giving', many may feel baffled by what their younger peers are saying. 

But it would seem there is no escape from the TikTok generation's slang, as it has even seeped into the US Presidential election. 

Pop culture has befuddled politicians for decades, but this week some have tried to join in on the fun of deeming Vice President Kamala Harris 'brat.' 

They've fired off memes of bright green squares, and when the BidenHQ became the 'KamalaHQ' a quick-witted and likely younger member of her staff added the recognizable 'brat' logo to her page.
