The orcs of the misty mountains are called goblins. I think Tolkien used the terms interchangeably.

Same thing

Shmorks, moblins, different but same - everybody’s saying it

Orcs, Goblins, and Hobgoblins are all terms used by Tolkien, but they all refer to the same beings and are used interchangeably.

Going off of memory, in The Hobbit Gandalf talks about Glamdring amd Orchrist, two swords they get from the trolls, and describes them as “forged in Gondolin during the goblin wars”. Sting came from the same troll horde and it’s assumed that it was a dagger made for an elvish prince.

Yup orcs. Still funny.
