I've never heard of "platty jubes",
but would have visited great violence upon anyone using it within earshot...

You'd have hoped that the Oxford University Press of all people
Would have insisted that the 'Word of the Year' was an actual fucking word and not "Goblin Mode" which is two words and #IStandWith which is an amalgamation of three words (and also a fucking hashtag...)
These portmanteau Tuckerisms like 'Permacrisis' can fuck off, too. There are plenty of beautiful, lesser-known words in the English language, what's the obsession with making up shit new ones? And don't get me started on 2015's '😂'.
Anyway. It'll be Metaverse, obviously.

That was quite a good rant…
until you used a fucking emoticon, which imbeciles everywhere now use in place of words.

The context is relevant.
As that fucking emoticon was 2015's 'Word of the Year'...
