Oxford Dictionary has finally revealed its Word of the Year for 2022, after putting it to a public vote for the first time ever.
Hundreds of thousands of English speakers cast their vote over the last two weeks, and the winner is a new slang term. The Oxford Word of the Year is a word or phrase that "reflects the ethos, mood, or preoccupations of the past twelve months, one that has potential as a term of lasting cultural significance".
This year, the phrase chosen is: Goblin mode.
