Marginalia in the Goblin Codex of synthesized

I'm not allowed to say where I got this, but the documents make it clear: synthesized has been on the goblin board's quarterly agenda since 1973.

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

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