About

Normale Brakka a Niffo or Normal Brakka is a Dutch and German slang term used to describe a pair of straight-leg pants, with "brakka" meaning "pants" and "a niffo" translating roughly to "bro," the phrase roughly translating to, "a pair of normal pants, bro." The term was popularized on TikTok around July 2023 when Dutch user @schjar described a pair of skinny jeans as a "normale brakke," inspiring remixes of the audio and memes referencing and parodying the video. In December 2023, the word "brakka" was named the "Austrian youth word of the year."

Origin

Around April 2023, TikTokers began teasing Dutch TikToker @schjar for wearing skinny jeans, prompting him to respond to the comments by denying his jeans are too skinny, often calling them "normal pants." For example, on June 3rd, 2023, the TikToker[1] uploaded a video using the phrase "normale brakka" several times while showing off his skinny jeans, garnering over 1.3 million views in six months (shown below, left). On July 18th, he posted a video to TikTok[2] refuting a comment calling his pants skinny where he shows a pile of pants he refers to as "normal," bouncing up and down in the jeans to show that they don't restrict him, garnering over 5 million views in five months (shown below, right).
