Really? Thanks for that, but some are quite genius. This isn't. Hence it's a stupid made up word that makes no sense.
Wow. If it isn't genius, it is stupid? There is no space in between? No "moderately clever"? No "passably smart"?

I agree. It really doesn't seem cromulent.Really? Thanks for that, but some are quite genius. This isn't. Hence it's a stupid made up word that makes no sense.
Plus another reason not to allow the public a vote in order to name things!
Now I know how to characterize both my “domesticated” dogs and kids’ behavior!
Pack of goblins!
When my son and his friends would act up, it was always 'you guys are being a bunch of goblins'.

This may sound odd…but I am genuinely inspired to have a goblin king as a major bad guy (or ally!) just from you saying that.All three choices listed were incredibly niche and/or not singular words. But it was open to public internet voting, so it's functionally just a popularity contest made to garner attention to the Oxford Dictionary (Boaty McBoatface is coming to mind). And it definitely worked for them, because this is the fourth place I've heard about it, and this poll is the first I've heard of any of them aside from Metaverse.
Merriam-Webster's word of the year is gaslighting, which is both more topical to the year as a whole and actually written as a singular word.
