The summer of 2024, reimagined through Charli XCX's "brat" aesthetic — lime green, messy nights, cigarettes, self-aware chaos. Charli tweeted "kamala IS brat" in July 2024, briefly merging the aesthetic with the Kamala Harris presidential campaign.

Aberzombie coded describes someone or something that radiates the hollow, hyper-groomed, brand-loyal energy of a person whose entire identity is assembled from catalog pages. It's not necessarily an insult toward a specific person — it can describe a vibe, a playlist, a neighborhood, a party, or even an attitude. The key read is aesthetic conformity worn as personality: the Ralph Lauren shirts, the carefully messy hair, the social media profile that looks like it was curated by a mall marketing team. Being aberzombie coded means the content of your character is, unfortunately, exclusively about the label on your shirt.

Borrowed from narrative storytelling, an adult arc is the phase in someone's life where they visibly grow into maturity — getting their finances straight, leaving toxic situations, developing routines, and generally becoming a more functional human. Unlike a full character arc in fiction, an adult arc is ongoing and messy, and people usually announce they're in one while they're still figuring it out. It implies growth is happening even if it's not linear, and online it's often used to celebrate or document the transition from chaos to something resembling stability.

The personal fashion journey someone goes through — usually tracked on social media or recognised retrospectively — where their style evolves, improves, or transforms in a notable way. An adrip arc can be a glow-up story told through outfits: before-and-afters, the awkward experimental phase, the breakthrough fit that changed the trajectory, and the confident era that followed. It's the visual character development people love to document and others love to celebrate. A solid adrip arc is proof that style isn't static — it grows with you, and sometimes it grows faster than you expected.

The widely used Canadian nickname for the Montreal Canadiens hockey club, derived from 'les Habitants' -- the historical term for French-Canadian settlers. The nickname has been embraced by fans and media for decades and is how most hockey followers informally refer to the team. It carries both warm affection and French-Canadian cultural pride. The nickname is more affectionate than ironic.
