Goblin mode » Goblinski režim| 91 The new term “goblin mode” has entered the spirit of the times by embracing the comfortable option of spending the whole day in bed or eating over the kitchen sink because you can’t be bothered to put your food on a plate Goblin jemitološko biće izraženog nosa i ušiju koje ne voli društvo, često je zlo i sklono smisalicama A goblin is a mythical creature with a pronounced nose and ears that doesn’t like company and is often evil and has a tendency to be mischievous Are you still in bed (We know that you’re aboard a plane, but remember yesterday morning)? Are there piles of clothes and empty boxes of takeaway food strewn across the floor? Do you have crumbs on your sheets? Do you not even care? If so, youmightalreadybein“goblinmode” –whichwas selectedby thepublic as the 2022 Oxford Word of the Year. According to the publishers of theOxford EnglishDictionary, this is a slang term that refers to “a way of behaving that intentionally and shamelessly gives in to and indulges inbase habits and activitieswithout regard for adhering to social norms or expectations”. Social media can portray idealised versions of self-improvement, fromwaking at 5amtodrink a green smoothie, to exercising until you drop dead, but that eramay be coming to an end. Here to replace it is goblin mode – which signifies the opposite of trying to better yourself. The 2022 Oxford Word of the Year was chosen by the public for thefirst time. “Goblinmode” proved victorious, with “Metaverse” coming secondand “#IStandWith” third. “Given the year we’ve just experienced, ‘Goblinmode’ resonates with all of us who are feeling a little overwhelmed at this point. It’s a relief toacknowledge thatwe’renot always the idealised, curated versions ofourselves thatwe’reencouragedto present on our Instagram and TikTok feeds,” said Casper Grathwohl, president of Oxford Languages at Oxford University Press. The term was first coined in 2009, but only went viral on social – S obzirom na godinu koju smo upravo doživeli, „goblin mode“ rezonuje sa svima nama koji se u ovom trenutku osecamo malo preoptereceno. Olakšanje je priznati da nismo uvek idealni kao što pokušavamo da se predstavimo na našim Instagram i TikTok fidovima – kaže Kasper Gretvol, predsednik Oksfordskog rečnika. Termin je prvi put upotrebljen 2009. godine, ali jepočetkom2022. postaoviralannadruštvenimmrežama sa lažnim naslovom koji je tvrdio da su Kanje Vest i Džulija Foks raskinuli nakon što je ona „prešla u goblinski mod“. Korisnica Tvitera koja je izmislila citat kao šalu rekla je da, iako je naslov bio lažan, veruje da je goblinski režim veoma stvaran fenomen. Podrazumeva raspoloženjepojedinaca koji su se pobunili protiv sve nedostižnijih estetskih standarda i neodrživog načina života promovisanog na društvenim mrežama. Popularnost ovog termina takođe može biti povezana sa novimmedijima kao što je „BeReal“, gde se korisnici pozivaju da jednom dnevno nasumično objave fotografiju onoga što rade. Da budu realni. Goblinski režim „prihvata udobnost izopačenosti“, napisao je u martu reporter „Gardijana“ Keri Pol, koji je porast upotrebe ovog termina pripisao „trećoj godini pandemije i strahovitim pričama o početku Trećeg svetskog rata“. Haštag #goblinmode na TikToku se često koristi kao odbijanje trenda koji se odnosi na to da budete „najbolja verzija sebe“, odnosno da ustajete rano zbog vežbanja i pijete organske zelene smutije i, naravno, objavite sve detalje o tome na društvenim mrežama.
