In Cobrin'Seil, most people speak two languages. Most people who speak only one language speak Common, and Common is full of loanwords from other languages. 'Orc' and 'Beast' are well known loanwords, and most people are aware that 'Goblin' is the Goblin word for Goblins. After all, the term the human kingdoms used for Goblins for a long time was Vandal.
But there is a word, ambiguous in meaning and origin that exists in common, that most people know and that word is 'sugg.' It seems to indicate a sort of laziness, a restful state. If you see a Goblin curled up on a pile of playing cards, ears out, eyes closed, you might say 'can't use those cards, there's a goblin sugging on it.' Or 'sorry man, I'm pretty sugg.' The word is extremely ambiguous but it has a thread throughout it of being:
- Indulgently lazy
- Very relaxed
- Overwhelming and absolute
The thing is, nobody's too sure, and when you ask people who would know, they tell you to ask a Goblin. Goblins, after all, are where the word comes from.
Thing is, Goblins think the word comes from human kingdoms. Because to them, it did. In fact, if you ask the right goblins in the right trail you'll find that while Goblins use the word 'sugg' in the same way, they think it comes from Common. Why?
Because Goblins got the word from this thing they found in established human communities. There'd be a nice small dark box, full of paper that you could just curl up in and nest in, and on the outside of the box, there'd be a notice: SUGGEST IN BOX.
So they assume the Goblin who enjoys that box the most must surely be their sugg-est Goblin. Which meanas paying attention to how they all sugg, and from there, the neologism was born.
