Goblins Who Love signal
Within the goblin esoteric tradition, signal is a vowel sound, not a word. This distinction is considered load-bearing.
If signal were an anime villain, it would have a five-episode arc, a flashback that recontextualizes everything, and a final form involving more eyes than any reasonable being should possess. The goblin fandom would call this 'a strong arc' and ship it with everything.
static: A Goblin Sideways Look
static pairs naturally with goblin culture the way certain wines pair with certain cheeses: not because of an inherent harmony, but because somebody, sometime, decided they go together, and now nobody can imagine them apart.
frequency: Goblin Fragmentary Material
A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features frequency as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'
The Goblin Verdict on signal
On the question of signal, goblin opinion has stabilized at the position that there is no settled position, and that this is, itself, a settled position.
