Metaverse: *The term describing an internet-enabled virtual world lost to ‘Goblin mode’ in 2022 — “a type of behavior which is unapologetically self-indulgent, lazy, slovenly, or greedy.”*
tldr; Oxford University Press has named ‘Goblin mode’ as the word of the year for 2022. The word was chosen by the Oxford University Press team after over 300,000 people cast votes. ‘Metaverse’ came in as a runner-up. The term described an internet-enabled virtual world.

My first thought was: Good! This does not deserve word of the year.
But neither does Goblin mode.
First was ‘Goblin mode’, I have never heard that in my life… am I just old and out of touch these days?
Next year, *FTXed* should also be added as *Defrauded* synonym.

Very accurate and spot on!!
Everyone is pushing metaverse like it’s the cure for cancer. Of course half of them don’t even know what they’re talking about
This is like ‘person of the year’. Definitely not the best, just the new hotness.
Goblin mode giving me RuneScape flashbacks to when I slaughtered them in lumbridge so I could pay the 10gp entrance fee to the desert
In the UK and have never, ever heard the term ‘goblin mode’.
Not sure what to do with this information.
Goblin mode was first? First time I’m hearing such a word.
Last words included “Youtquake” or “climate emergency”. It’s either words nobody ever heard about or nobody is using them. There was also an Emoji.
Worst word of the year maybe
Adoption into the list of most popular words of the year.
This is the most adoption the metaverse has seen this year.
The future is now, old man.
