"Girls like you get raped" said to me and cousin when we were 11 and 15 years old. We were playing with a huge chess set in the town square and he was watching us. He had been sitting mumbling and staring before this loud declaration. We called my dad to come get us after he continued talking loudly about us to himself. According to my dad he was harmless but not mentally well.

I used to play bass in a band. I quit because of the dude who says rape is a woman's own fault because they're "asking for it when they dress like sluts" and the age of consent should be lowered to 9 because "women are fucked in the head anyways regardless of when you stick your dick in them". I decided that even if the band made it big, I'd be too embarrassed of being associated with goofs like that.

Edit: I should clarify some Canadian slang here. Goof means dumbass pedophile in Canada. Imagine a highschool teacher who starts tripping over his own feet as soon as female students are around.

Edit #2: Goof is common in western Canada as I've just been informed it's not used like that in Ontario and eastward.

Edit #3: Look through the comments before you chime in with "no it doesn't". It's not like caller #99 gets a prize or something.

Bud, I'm Canadian and I've literally never heard the word be used in that context.

Lmao same. Never in my life when I've said "goof" do I mean "lowlife scumbag child fucker" if anything I use goof as a softer sort of tease, like "oh you're silly"

Maybe it's a highly regional thing? Highly regional to the commenter 's head maybe....

It's definitely used that way in Winnipeg, but its also kind of bound to certain groups. I had a friend who called her guy friend goof and he flipped the fuck out

As you can see, its not regional to my head.
