In case you missed it, goblin-mode was the Oxford Dictionaries word of the year for 2022, in what seems to rigged elections and an exercise of social media engineering https://apnews.com/article/europe-oxford-e1ce91a4c56588c5ece25353cbe52810 LONDON (AP) — Asked to sum up 2022 in a word, the public has chosen a phrase. It defines the term as “a type of behavior which is unapologetically self-indulgent, lazy, slovenly, or greedy, typically in a way that rejects social norms or expectations.” First seen on Twitter in 2009, “goblin mode” gained popularity in 2022 as people around the world emerged uncertainly from pandemic lockdowns. “Given the year we’ve just experienced, ‘goblin mode’ resonates with all of us who are feeling a little overwhelmed at this point,” said Oxford Languages President Casper Grathwohl.
