Fad

A fad is something that becomes very popular for a short time, like a new toy or a dance everyone is doing. It’s exciting at first, but soon most people move on to something else.

Examples

• Last summer, the new dance challenge became a huge fad, and everyone at school was trying to learn the moves to impress their friends during recess.
• My brother jumped on the latest fad of collecting colorful rubber bands, and soon his entire room was filled with different shapes and sizes.
• At our art class, we explored the fad of tie-dye shirts, and I loved seeing how each shirt turned out unique and colorful in its own special way.
