It may have been increasingly popularized by the song 'GOATed,' which is based on this slang, and was released at the beginning of 2023 by the American rapper and singer-songwriter Armani White. More recently, if you don't feel like writing it out, you can also use the goat emoji (🐐) instead. Saying that someone is 'GOATed' is another way of calling someone a GOAT. The phrase is connected to Muhammad Ali, the famous boxer, who was nicknamed, 'The Greatest.' It was Ali's wife who turned it into 'GOAT,' an acronym for 'greatest of all time,' to increase his publicity in the 1990s, according to. Getting called a 'GOAT' may sound like an insult, but it's actually a big compliment.
