GOAT
Significado: Greatest of All Time — the absolute best in a particular field.
An acronym that has become a word in its own right, GOAT is the ultimate compliment. It's used most often in sports (LeBron, Brady, Serena) but has expanded to any field where someone is considered the undisputed best. Can be used as a noun ('the GOAT') or adjective ('GOAT status').
