I’m with Sliver. I suppose if we were in prison, we should know that lingo.

I’ve heard the term in day to day life. I never used it, but I don’t believe anyone was using it in the inmate sense.

I had a gear grinder about this a few years ago. I think people that take offense to 'goof' are, well, goofy

How dare we all not be aware of an obscure prison insult, lol

When you’re down on the southside of the 403 you gotta be wise to lingo.

This doesn't even make sense. I will add it to the list of accusations you have made against me.

That is such a stretch, especially from someone trying so hard to defend Hamas.

See you call someone a chomo that’s one thing, some people know that and it’s a weird term you don’t hear a lot. Goof? Lol get out of here I call people goofballs daily. Is goofball allowable and it’s just calling someone a goof that a subset of Canadians who’ve been guests of the crown are worried about?

I gotta make sure cause I don’t need somebody getting all up in my grill, man, because they got called a goof. It’s basically a racial slur!

Ive been calling people goofs endearingly in my daily life for as long as I can remember. The only time I ever heard of the prison interpretation was in that earlier conversation here on CP. And When I'm reminded I vow to stop using it, only to completely forget.
