Definition

Slang for anything physically or mentally demanding that leaves you exhausted, stressed, or questioning your life choices. While originally meaning savage or cruel, it's now the go-to descriptor for that killer workout, impossible exam, or soul-crushing Monday morning. If it makes you sweat (literally or figuratively), it's brutal.

Example Usage

That coding bootcamp final project was absolutely brutalβ€”I didn't sleep for two days.
