Goblin was synonymous with "Teasmaid" to me. :roll:

So I had to resort to Google too - and I may well be in that mode too! :lol:

"Still, there really is no wrong way to go goblin mode. It’s a state you automatically enter after watching an entire season of a show in one sitting. Or when you wear the shirt you slept in the night before and then fall asleep in it again. Or when you take a sneaky drink straight from the container. Or eat a handful of shredded cheese over the sink. In goblin mode, your posture must be so bad that even when you are sitting, you are essentially lying down."

Yep :D
