One of the car rental companies has started using it in their commercials. I do wonder how much of a generational divide there is on using it.

The issue for me is it looks like an accidental autocorrect of the word “goatse” which internet users from an earlier pre-Facebook era may find more familiar than the verbifying of what was an acronym that is starting to be used as the original word but in a new adjective way.
It’s a really commonly used among gen z. It’s used to mean it’s really good/one of the best. Eg these tacos are goated.
