Solution

The Oxford Word of the Year is the slang term "goblin mode". Oxford Languages opened its choice of 'Word of the Year' to public vote for the first time in its history. The term "goblin mode" is often used to describe a type of behaviour that is unapologetically self-indulgent, lazy, slovenly, or greedy, typically in a way that rejects social norms or expectations.
