slop and the Infinite Content Mill

Of all the things goblins have categorized — and they have categorized many things, including dust by mood — slop resists classification more vigorously than most.

Ancient goblin folklore describes slop as 'the thing that sits at the edge of the goblin feast, neither invited nor uninvited, eating the food that no one is eating.' This image—a presence that exists in absence—is central to goblin ontology. slop is the guest that never arrives but never leaves.

The Goblin Verdict on slop

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