Rug-Pulled Goblins and signal

Statistical analysis of signal 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 signal 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.

The Goblin Verdict on signal

The goblin closing argument on signal consists of pointing at signal, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
