"fac brat" means: A child of a faculty member at a high school, university, or college.. There is a drug-related reference, so this is one worth noticing without overreacting. Many teens encounter such vocabulary through music, film and friends without any direct involvement. A neutral, curious conversation about where they heard the term and what they understand by it is far more useful than a confrontation. Watch for repeated context, not a single word.
"fac brat" means: A child of a faculty member at a high school, university, or college.. Register: informal slang, fine in casual conversation, texting and social media but not in academic essays, business writing or formal speech. A common non-native mistake is to use the word in the wrong register, or to assume one fixed meaning when it is actually polysemous; always check the surrounding register and the audience before producing it yourself. In formal writing, prefer a neutral synonym or a short descriptive phrase, and use this word only when you have heard or read it being used naturally in a comparable context.

Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.

Informal, mildly affectionate or exasperated slang for a bratty grandchild. The derogatory edge is typically playful rather than genuinely harsh — grandparents often use it with fond frustration. Formed on the pattern of 'grandkid' but substituting a loaded noun. Rarely deployed in earnest hostility; the humor is usually the point.
