You'll only get a perplexed look if you try to include Tittle, Baugh, or even Unitas in the conversation. So the GOAT has to be someone who's currently playing or recently retired. Meaningless and annoying, IMO.
I have a different problem. There is a time honored meaning for the term goat in sports, and it is someone who is responsible to a catastrophic turn of events for their teams, particularly in a key game.

Honestly, the current vernacular really grinds my gears.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Overpaying yesterday is simply underpaying tomorrow.

An iconic performance! Mahomes, Reid, and Kelce are all GOAT!

Beside Iconic, I can not stand the phases:

"Reaching out"
"Let's connect"
"Moving forward"
"That being said"

All douchey..

I’m surprised no one has mentioned ‘literally’ yet. It’s even more misused and overused, IMO.

Literally, Basically, Essentially - I have put a ban on those words in my home.

Whenever I hear somebody use the word "literally," I know without question they are saying something that is NOT literal at all.
