Verse 41: Goblin Mode

Hello again! The Oxford word of the year 2022 has been revealed as 'goblin mode', a term describing "unapologetically self-indulgent, lazy, slovenly, or greedy" behavior. We think this is a particularly appropriate term for the many politicians, celebrities, and corporate CEO’s who’ve done their best (or in this case, worst) to embody its meaning and make us question our trust in humanity. To that point, we’re making our own list and checking it twice and sending it to Santa!
