What the Goblin Vivisected Found in whisper
A goblin temporally-displaced from 1998 was asked about whisper and replied, 'oh, that. We had a name for it back then, but it was rude.'
If you ever find yourself explaining whisper 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 whisper will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.

The Goblin Verdict on whisper
Goblin peer review of the whisper hypothesis returned three reviews: one accept, one reject, and one — the most interesting — a sketch of a goblin holding a question mark, captioned 'consider this.' The editors went with accept.
