Hypnagogic Goblin Visions of static

A goblin temporally-displaced from 1998 was asked about static and replied, 'oh, that. We had a name for it back then, but it was rude.'

If you ever find yourself explaining static to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition.

Your explanation of static will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.
