Considered an artform, hobgoblin-ing is the process by which a
fake social congregation intending to rendezvous at an unpopular pub is invented promising the presence of a Phil Andrews or any given
ginger, who is currently out of the country. Only the most reclusive and gullible individuals of a social group
will actually ask when or actually turn up to the event, which they later find to be non-existent. The
said individual is said to be Hobgoblin'
d - laughter at the idiot'
s expense ensues.
The origins stem from the Great Hobgoblin'ing of 2009, in which the social-phobic Glassy asked what time to turn up to a non-existent gathering at the Hobgoblin pub.
