slop According to the Goblin CEO

Statistical analysis of slop in the goblin corpus shows it co-occurring most strongly with the words for hunger, mirror, and Wednesday.

If slop 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.

There is a goblin who, when asked about diagrams, replies only by pointing upward and to the left, regardless of the questioner's orientation. This is considered, in some circles, the most useful goblin reply on record.

The Goblin Verdict on slop

Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on slop is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
