shows the loss of intelligence when an institution can't tell the difference between 1 word or two.
Of all this year's catch phrases ( it's TWO words, Oxford. )… This is the one I've heard the least times. One time, to be precise. Just now, right here.
We did it boys and girls. Goblin mode is the winner
Up until right now I have never in my life heard of goblin mode
Literally me
Never heard of it, but it's not a word, its two words
Given the other options I probably would have gone with metaverse. Failure or not it has been a pretty big thing
Maybe someone at Oxford should use their own dictionary and look up 'word,' as opposed to 'phrase', which is two or more words.
I'm not alone, I have never heard anyone say Goblin mode or Goblin anything at all. Who makes this up.
I was in goblin mode durring Thanksgiving
🤦🏻♂️
What happened to "gaslighting?" The propagandist gaslighting media sure didn't like that, so they picked something else to gaslight us over.
Never heard of it
Absolutely stupid.
The fact that gaslighting is Miriam Websters word of the year is telling.
Good to see Oxford University Press try something different.
No doubt Trump will be pleased his behavior is the center of attention again…
Next year I’m going Goblin Mode 😂
More evidence the media is useless
I prefer the term Super Gremlin.
😔 Today I have found out that I have been in Goblin mood for many years ,and I am falling deeper in this mood 🥺.
یا الله مدد 🤲
So word of the year is two words? Makes sense considering the two sexes are now approximately 1,000 genders and counting…
Slobs, people born before the millennium called them SLOBS. I weep for our future.. 😣
The fact news outlets are still lying after musk released the Biden’s emails and voicemails and that you’ve said nothing about Kati Hobbs being busted cheating in Arizona says it all you’ve lied to every American you can’t hide from the truth zuckerburg released their from Facebook also democrats and some republicans all cheats liars and cowards so is this news outlet
Bots seem to agree
What's the difference between racism and noticing a pattern of behavior
within a certain group?
They could have shortened this bit 99%. Goblin mode = Socialists
a generation of reeeeeeterds. humans deserve to all burn at this point
This is unironically based.
It should be called "Zuck Land" cause it really "Zucks"
That's 2 words though? Also, no one I know says that and I don't think they ever will.
Sounds ignorant so it makes sense.
Definitely chosen by gamers lol.
They got the definition wrong, typical
I was all set to disparage the vote and the choice, until I heard the alternatives being considered. My, what a pathetic showing all around.
So they didn't ask the public to vote. They asked a small group of kids instead. Freaking unreal.
Headlines; Twitter has exposed the BIDEN CRIME FAMILY AND THE FBI, AND DOJ.
Everyone should experience goblin mode
Lame
So stupid. We're just getting dumber
Check out papa gut, the origin of goblin mode
Never heard of it, but it sounds like "Shrekish" behavior to me.
Crazy to think Oxford was once the home of Edwin De Vere, John Dee etc. the West is cooked from the fluoride, soy and seed oils ☠️😵💫
Let's see some coverage of the info released by Twitter!
One word
“Goblin mode”
Guessing math is “a threat to our democracy”
How long y'all think it'll take before some one makes that song lol
Oxford is a joke.
Omfg a internet meme is now somehow gaining life, man the orbital lasers boys!!
So it's just a new name for lefties?
