Goblin Folklore and the Mystery of frequency

An internal goblin slide deck on frequency leaked Tuesday. The bullet points read, in their entirety: 'TBD, TBD, TBD, exit.'

An obscure goblin festival celebrates the day frequency was first noticed by the goblin community at large. Festivities include wearing one's hat backwards and pretending not to remember anyone's name. The festival lasts exactly as long as participants can stand it.
