Metauniverse can be called the hottest term in recent years. It has been repeatedly mentioned by many netizens and technology giants, and many countries have plans to build it into an emerging industry, which makes the term "meta universe" look like "gold". Goblin model was selected as the Oxford vocabulary of the year 2022 by the public.

Metauniverse has been mentioned repeatedly by many netizens and technology giants, and many countries plan to build it into a new industry, which makes the word "Metauniverse" look like a word "one word, one thousand gold". Goblin mode was selected as the Oxford vocabulary of the year 2022 by the public. "An act of self indulgence, laziness, slovenliness or greed, usually presented in a way that rejects social norms or expectations", commonly known as "rotten model" is the first Oxford annual vocabulary decided by public vote.

The lexicographer of Oxford University Press selected three words (or phrases/topic tags). More than 340000 English speakers voted on "words". Among the candidate words, metaverse ranked second, followed by "# IStandWith". Casper Grathwohl, director of the Oxford University Press Language Center for the "Goblin Model", said that although he and his colleagues said that they "hoped the public would like to participate in this process", their participation was "totally unexpected".

"Considering the year we have just gone through, the Goblin model has resonated with all of us, and we feel a little overwhelmed," he added, "It is a relief to admit that we are not always encouraged to idealize and plan ourselves in Instagram and TikTok profiles. When the rapid rise of BeReal platforms proves this, users can share unedited images on these platforms, which usually captures self indulgence moments in Goblin mode."

The word "Goblin model" first appeared on Twitter in 2009, but it was wildly spread on social media after the simulated title of Twitter was released in February 2022. In March this year, Kari Paul, a reporter of the Guardian, wrote that he attributed the rise of phrase utilization to the rise of phrases "in the popular third year and the terrible third war may occur".

TikTok tag # Goblin mode is often used to reject the trend of "that girl" - that is, all this is to become the "best self", get up early to exercise, carefully protect skin, and drink organic green smoothies; Of course, all this information should be posted on social media. Oxford University Press pointed out that in the first half of 2022, when the "Goblin model" was adopted, many countries were relaxing restrictions on the prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic.

"On the surface, it captures the general sentiment that people refuse to return to normal life, or resist the increasingly difficult aesthetic standards and unsustainable lifestyles on social media." Ben Zimmer, an American linguist and dictionary compiler, said: "The Goblin model is indeed in dialogue with the times and the spirit of the times, which is definitely an expression in 2022. People are looking at social norms in a new way. It allows people to abandon social norms and accept new norms."

"Goblin model" was added to the previous Oxford annual vocabulary "vaccine" (vax, 2021), "climate emergency" (2019) and "selfie" (2013). Other dictionaries also choose the words of 2022: Collins chose the term "permanence crisis" to describe the turbulent situation in Britain in 2022; The Cambridge Dictionary chose "homer", a baseball term that became popular in May due to the popular guessing game Wordle this year. At the same time, Oxford University Press released a video introducing the meta universe, saying that "in this environment, users interact with avatars and the surrounding environment in an immersive manner.
