자주 하는 실수：

자주 하는 실수：
Learners may think 'goat' always means the animal and not understand it as an acronym. In slang, 'GOAT' comes from the phrase 'greatest of all time'. It is often written in all caps as 'GOAT', but in casual writing it can also appear as 'goat' and still have this meaning when the context is sports or achievements.
