Let me tell you!

Generally, a cockgoblin is any person or group you happen to either be annoyed with, loathe or generally have contempt for. I originally heard the term "cock goblin" on Slashdot. An anonymous coward was making an rather ignorant remark in a particular thread, and one of the replies had nothing more than the words, "Shut up you cock goblin." I proceeded then to burst out in laughter for about five minutes.

After that hijinx, I began using the term constantly to refer to anyone that happened to be on my "bad side" at that moment, from the guy that cut me off on my way to work that morning to someone I had perhaps met and generally didn't like. The term stuck. Others here at CWRU began using the term as well.

Contrary to what you might be telling yourself right now, a cockgoblin does not (necessarily) refer to anyone that engages in the act of oral sex, nor is it meant at all to be a derisive term used against members of the homosexual community. It isn't even really an indictment of goblins. It's just a word. A word that rolls off the tongue and seems, to me at least, to somehow 'make sense' when attempting to vocalize discontent with someone or something. In my view, it's a lot better than calling someone a 'motherfucker' or 'asshole'.

So, if you know of a cockgoblin in your life and wish to tell the world who he, she or it is, please feel free. Whatever you write on these pages are nothing more then what you state to be YOUR OPINIONS. They are definitely not my opinions, nor those of anyone else in the world. Hell, you might not even agree or believe in your OWN opinions. Therefore, take this site and all the entries with a grain of salt. If you can't do that, do the world a favor and lighten up a bit.

I will have sole discretion when adding or deleting entries from this web page. If you want me to delete an entry about you, email me and I'll consider it. I do not actively monitor content on this site and any changes made will either be made through an act of drunken stupidity, mindless and vindictive use of the 'x' key (I usually use vi to edit the database) or at my whim. If you think you'll feel bad for saying something nasty about someone, then shut the hell up and don't post it. Likewise, f you don't like what someone else has to say about you (or what you think is about you. Most of the time it isn't, in which case you have some serious personality problems), then slam them back. I don't care.

One last thing, I wish to remind all of you that I do not hold myself responsible for any comments not made by me on this website. The comments and opinions presented here are those of the author, who may or may not wish to be anonymous. For privacy reasons, I will not knowingly permit anyone other than those I designate to be administrators on my system to view logs, except when presented by a valid court order. Please see our Privacy Policy for more information. In fact, it is very likely that logs files for this particular page don't even exist, either because I'm a crappy system administrator, for my own safetey, or, well, because I deleted them in a drunken stupor. So there.

You cockgoblin!
