The first Oxford word of the year voted on by the people is ‘goblin mode’, which means to be “unapologetically self-indulgent, lazy, slovenly, or greedy”. Of the nearly 400,000 votes, 93% of the votes came in for ‘goblin mode’, which is exactly how we’re going to be in the new year.

Metaverse and #IStandWith followed suit in second and third place.
