Oxford Word of the Year

Oxford #1 pick for word of the year... Goblin Mode
Ok, it's actually a phrase and a hashtag on TikTok

“Goblin mode” has been chosen by the public as the 2022 Oxford word of the year. The term, which refers to “a type of behaviour which is unapologetically self-indulgent, lazy, slovenly, or greedy, typically in a way that rejects social norms or expectations”, has become the first word of the year to have been decided by public vote"

Can you identify with this? I know a few who have been in "goblin mode" most of their lives.

Now that it was defined here in the OP, I still don’t know what the fuck it means.

And would it really matter if you did?

 

[BackAgain]

And would it really matter if you did?

No. Pretty sure it wouldn’t. Good point.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

I thought the word of the year was Gaslight.
Which is appropriate for todays democrat.

This is the US of A. No one here actually cares about Oxford, except for all the Rhodes Scholars in Biden's administration.

Right up a whole white paper on the subject, Mr Boil. It should enthrall us all.

 

[Concerned American]

Right up a whole white paper on the subject,

Look up the word that means "to form words or letters on a surface with an instrument" When you learn what that word is, come back and maybe we can talk.

 

[MisterBeale]

Oh sure, you say that now.

But I would spend all that time, and when I am done, you would gas-light us all, into thinking it does not mean a thing.

Go ahead. Amaze us with all you have.

I know. It annoys you.

 

[blackhawk]

In regards to the Oxford word of the year allow me to quote the TV character Archie Bunker. Pbfttttttt.

 

[MisterBeale]

[Concerned American]

Not at all, I have to care about something or someone to be annoyed. You don't fall into either category. I just find it amusing that morons try to dazzle us all with their brilliance and they can't spell a simple second grade word. Try again, junior.

You never seem to amaze. Even when you can't see my intention. It's because your head is up your butt.
