Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for January 03, 2017
Transcript:
Marigold: Phoebe! We have been invited to a goblin opera! This opera is performed annually, to celebrate the coming of the new year! In English, its title means something like "The Cycle of the World's Renewal From Beneath the Frost". Marigold: In Goblin, it is called "Blaart Blaart". Phoebe: I really hope my high school offers Goblin as a language option.

Just keep saying “Blaarg, Blaarg” and you’ll be fine. Also, I too recall that scene from the movie TEMPLO S.U.D. Very funny. If school could’ve been that easy.

Like Potterverse Troll, Goblin language has some very fine nuances that it must be hard for outsiders to catch

Given the English title, I’m imagining goblins BLAARTing along to the tune of Stravinsky’s “Rite of Spring.”

“What’s the name of that mall cop?” “Blaart!” “What sound does a whoopee cushion make?” “Blaart!” “Who’s your favorite Simpson?” “Lisaa!”

The goblin language structure must be similar to that of the Pokémon creatures.
