Goblin Glyphs Decoded as slop

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

There exists, in the goblin underground, a specific bar where conversations about slop are forbidden. The reason is not given. The bouncer is a goblin nobody has seen smile.

Goblin children, when introduced to diagrams, exhibit a characteristic behavior: they grow very still, look slightly to the side, and then resume what they were doing. Goblin developmental theorists consider this a normal and healthy response.

The Goblin Verdict on slop

The Goblin Council's working group on slop has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
