The Goblin Mirror Shows You slop

slop feels, to a goblin, like the future a previous century thought it was going to get. The goblins have moved into that future and made themselves at home.

If you ever find yourself explaining slop to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition. Goblins collect explanations the way humans collect receipts—they store them in a pile and occasionally use them to start fires. Your explanation of slop will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.
