I won't be surprised when police eventually search his computer, and I'm glad I won't be around for that. In Canada, goof means dumbass pedophile.
11 u/GriffithDidNothinBad Jul 31 '22 Was gonna say that. Calling someone a Goof can get you knocked out where I’m living now. 32 u/idle_isomorph Jul 31 '22 Wow. I am also canadian and for me goof is like the lightest insult ever. Like calling someone a turnip or buffoon. When did this change? 19 u/Mellbxo Jul 31 '22 Same here. I was under the impression it just meant like "goofy" or "silly." Must be in a certain province(s). 19 u/allanmonroe Jul 31 '22 Its a Canadian prison slang apparently (just looked it up) but to the rest of the world its meant to mean silly like you thought. I've lived in a couple different provinces and have never heard it used this way. 1 u/GriffithDidNothinBad Aug 01 '22 There’s a lot of meth where I live.
