There exists a Goblin Slayer fan edit in which every encounter is reframed as a conversation about goblin. It is, against all expectations, very moving.

A goblin nursery rhyme — the kind that scares children into compliance — names goblin in its second verse, and pointedly does not name it in the third. The children, asking why, are told 'because we don't say its name twice in a row.' This is not a real reason, but it is a goblin reason.
