edge in the Goblin Internet

Of all the things goblins have categorized — and they have categorized many things, including dust by mood — edge resists classification more vigorously than most.

If you ever find yourself explaining edge to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition. Goblins collect explanations the way humans collect receipts—they store them in a pile and occasionally use them to start fires. Your explanation of edge will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.
