Had a random epiphany, but intrigued…
What word would you use in almost every conversation in a given day?
And what word would you most likely not even speak in a week?
‘And’
There’s plenty of words I don’t use for weeks/months/years on end.
What about…vexatious…can’t say I’ve used that in a while.

Are you able to name one of these? I’m interested.
From memory I didn’t use the word Disestablishmentarianism once in 2007.

I’ve been working with men of construction recently, so my regular-use lexicon has become a bit fruity - but luckly I can balance that with some buzzword bullshit talking to people about strategy, hollistically has got a good run over the past week or so
Been a while since i’ve used the word doyen - I can never find a good opportunity to drop that into a bit of prose

“Goblin mode” — a slang term referring to “a type of behavior which is unapologetically self-indulgent, lazy, slovenly, or greedy, typically in a way that rejects social norms or expectations” — has been named Oxford’s 2022 Word of the Year.

Can’t say I’ve heard that being used in 2022.

Well you have now - I have been in goblin mode pretty much ever since I took a redundancy in July.

I think it’s a great term to describe this stage of the ratings year - TV network programming is definitely in goblin mode.

I think you can say that for the whole year pretty much - free to air TV isn’t what it used to be.
