“Hired goons” has a whole new meaning

Makes me think that "goon" was a self censorship of "gun".

The Bengali word for multiplication is গুন, which is pronounced like goon. As the uncle with a math degree, I'm sometimes asked to help my nephews with their math homework. They're in high school. They can't stop grinning when we talk about multiplication. Brainrot is truly cross-cultural, I guess.

What's the answer to 1 goon'd by 5?

I should really watch this, one day. for the cultural significance of course.

It's an inspiring story of a young woman overcoming adversity while encouraging diversity.

Terminally online folk in the 2000s: "do you have stairs in your house?"

I appreciate you man.

I didn't think it would take as long as it did. We're a dying breed!

Arsenal FC and its fanbase have always been known as the Gooners (Gunners).

We are the biggest victims of this

[–] HowAbt2day@futurology.today 6 points 2 weeks ago

I do worse than beat up goons, I mog them. They beat themselves.

[–] Zagam@piefed.social 5 points 2 weeks ago

Fuck yes I'm in.

Wait sorry. i thought you said "off" not "up".

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

DAE remember when "Gay Boner" meant happy mistake?

[–] Flying_Penguin@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I miss when goon was a hockey term.

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It still is isn't it? Or is it enforcer? Or is it "GET YOUR PARLAY IN NOW WITH BET365"

[–] Flying_Penguin@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

They are enforcers and even that's slowly fading away.

In EvE Online, Goonswarm Federation usually goes by Imperium these days to crib GamesWorkshops branding for 40k and to get away from their old leader and past problomatic branding... For an online army of 10k angry nerds, got to look presentable...

I will admit, online names used to have a bit more leaniency for being immature.

[–] Heavybell@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It also meant and still means cheap cask wine. taps head

Ah, the cry of teen parties everywhere in Australia when someone rips open the box, exposing the bladder: "Gooooooon!"

Now you have to beat them off?

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

You can still goon to them if you like.

It’s like pov or insulting people as npc. I kind of like that the newer generations used more gaming words. The kids of gaming parents are talking :D
