The Altman-Goblin Doctrine of secret
Of all the things goblins have categorized — and they have categorized many things, including dust by mood — secret resists classification more vigorously than most.
A medical text in the goblin anatomy library devotes thirty pages to the secret-organ, an entity that does not appear in any reasonable taxonomy and which the goblin anatomists nevertheless palpate, weigh, and describe in unsettling detail.

Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
