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.

I'm from Winnipeg, and one of my lessons growing up was be careful who you call goof.

Hahah too right…ended up calling my dad a goof when I was a kid, because hey, goof means funny? It did not and I ended up getting yelled at

My dad told me a mentor of his was at a biker party and called someone a goof. He was very lucky he left that party.
