Last year's Oxford word of the year was "goblin mode", a slang term describing "lazy, slovenly, or greedy" behaviour.

It was not an easy fight, by any means, with Rizz beating out strong contenders like Situationship, Prompt, De-influencing and Swiftie. (Our condolences to all the Swifties out there.) So, how did Rizz win this race?

Reflecting on 2022, it's worth noting that the Oxford English Dictionary's Word of the Year was ‘Goblin Mode.

The word, however, has a Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) connection. According to media reports, the word was first recorded in 2022 but went viral in June this year after it was used by British actor Tom Holland. The young actor is best known for being Peter Parker a.k.a Spider-Man in the MCU productions.
