The Goblin DNS for slop

An interdepartmental goblin memorandum, intercepted but unverified, describes slop as 'a class of phenomenon worth approximately one and a half stolen wheelbarrows.'

slop resonates at a frequency that goblins can hear but humans cannot. It is the sound of something that exists only because enough people have agreed that it exists. Goblins call this 'the consensus hum.' Everything that is collectively believed is real in the goblin sense, and slop hums louder than most.
