I Love Words

Somebody on my FB used an expression that I just love:

“Maladroit fraud-goblin.”
That seems fair enough. Maladroit would aptly describe someone trying to lie and nonetheless unintentionally speaking truly!

Goblin is a kind of faery according to Bing. So, I remain a bit unsure of what an f-g is but I suppose it could be someone who flits around attempting to perpetrate frauds or untruths. So, I get it now. Thank you!
How is the phrase used in a sentence? That is, could it describe a real (as opposed to merely fictional) human person?

@Alfred22 Used in a sentence:

“Maladroit fraud-goblin Rudy Giuliani whined about being slandered, but I told him it isn’t slander if it’s true.”
