“Swiftie” vs. “de-influencing,” “rizz” vs. “beige flag,” “prompt” vs. “heat dome”“parasocial” vs. “situationship” head-to-head thematic pairings.

 Last year, Oxford let the public vote on three finalists. (“Goblin mode” came out on top, because 2022.) This year, the public was invited to cut the shortlist list in half by weighing in on four head-to-head thematic pairings. (Some 30,000 people voted, Oxford said.) Oxford’s team then made the final selection.

One pairing, “Swiftie” vs. “de-influencing,” related to celebrity culture. Others reflected personal characteristics (“rizz” vs. “beige flag,” a characteristic suggesting a partner is boring), the changing world (“prompt” vs. “heat dome”) and relationships (“parasocial” vs. “situationship”).

去年，牛津讓民眾投票選出三名決賽入圍者。 （「妖精模式」名列前茅，因為 2022 年。）今年，公眾受邀透過對四個面對面的主題配對進行權衡，將入圍名單減少一半。 （牛津大學表示，約有 3 萬人投票。）牛津大學的團隊隨後做出了最終選擇。

一對「Swiftie」與「去影響力」與名人文化有關。 其他則反映了個人特徵（“rizz”與“米色旗幟”，這種特徵表明伴侶很無聊）、不斷變化的世界（“及時”與“熱穹”）和人際關係（“準社會”與“情境”） 。
