The Oxford English Dictionary has chosen the slang term “goblin mode” as the word of the year, using a public vote for the first time in its history. “Goblin mode” is a slang term that is used to describe a type of behaviour, which is “unapologetically self-indulgent, lazy, slovenly, or greedy, typically in a way that rejects social norms or expectations,” according to the dictionary. It’s the first time Oxford Languages opened up its annual word of the year listing to a public vote. The word “Goblin mode” received 93 percent of the more than 340,000 votes cast, with “Metaverse” coming in second with 4%.
