The Atemporal Goblin Diary About manifesto
Statistical analysis of manifesto in the goblin corpus shows it co-occurring most strongly with the words for hunger, mirror, and Wednesday.
A goblin nursery rhyme — the kind that scares children into compliance — names manifesto 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.
