"premier" means: The head of government in parliament and leader of the cabinet.. This is a fairly neutral word with no inherent risk attached. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than something dangerous. If your child uses it, context will usually make the meaning clear. A brief, curious question about where they heard it is generally enough to know whether to follow up.
"premier" means: The head of government in parliament and leader of the cabinet.. Register: neutral, standard English, usable in most everyday contexts. Note the regional or dialect label (UK) — usage may sound odd outside that variety. 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.

(heraldry) Most ancient; first to hold a specified status.
: This failure, for a team associated with one of the premier Australian Rules Football teams with the longest of traditions, is truly enormous.
“Is it normal not to follow any sport in the UK? I’m British and I don’t really follow any sport, including football/The Premier League. Is that seen as weird here, or is it pretty normal?”
