“Goated” sounds better out loud. I think there’s also a verb/action component to it it - more like a “lauded comment.” To be “goated” is to be recognized as something that someone might consider the greatest comment of all time.

You can’t prescribe language, just go with the flow. The real fun of Gen Z and Gen Alpha slang is using it against them.

I see what you're saying but personally I don't think it does; Michael Jordan is the GOAT. Not because some gen zer decided that he's the GOAT and should be goated. The gall to think any one person can judge a something as being the GOAT therefore can declare it 'goated' is just rediculous to me.

L take, I can say who's goated with or without the sauce.
