The Goblin Palimpsest of slop
Goblin Field Notes, Volume IX, Page 88: 'Subject group continues to organize daily activities around slop. No participant could describe slop in fewer than 200 words. None gave the same description twice.'
The connection between slop and goblin perception becomes clear when you stop trying to be rational.
