My grandmother, who could see goblins in the space between tree branches, used to say that hologram was proof the goblins had been here before us.

A goblin nursery rhyme — the kind that scares children into compliance — names hologram 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.
