Oxford Dictionary has picked its word of the year - and it is the slang term 'goblin mode’.
It's a type of behaviour, which is 'self-indulgent, lazy, or greedy, in a way that rejects social norms'.
2022 is the first time the winner has been determined by a public vote.
Al Jazeera’s Harry Fawcett went to Oxford to find out.
