Seriously.... Greatest of All Time (GOAT) is getting worn out. Can we bury that next to Disco and "Whateveeer" please?

I know its current meaning, but whenever I hear it, I see the Peanuts cartoon of Charlie Brown trying to steal home plate. He can be either the hero, or the goat.

Hint: he didn't make it, and he was the goat.

I would like to apologize to anyone I have *not* offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly.

Its lost all meaning, since they apply the GOAT title to fucking everything and everybody anymore. Someone gets called "GOAT" they might as well just say they're "extra neato."

Shows how out of touch I am with things like this. The first time I heard it, someone was talking about Tom Brady. I had to Google it.

Agreed on the recent overuse. Just like in the early 2000’s @everything was Xtreme or some version of that.
