This is why keming is always important.

Oooh...

It's meant to be "Go on". That took me way too long, truly embarrassing amounts of onlineness. I was about to ask here what they were thinking "[to] goon" was supposed to mean. Or if this was in the henchmen lounge of the local BBEG's lair.

Haha, in Australia goon is the cheap wine you buy in boxes rather than bottles, so I was imagining 5 minutes to down an entire 5 or 10 litres

I thought a 'goon bag' was the bladder out of a box of wine.

[–] DisOne@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Correct - the goon bag is what the goon comes in

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Aha! So the goon is the brand? I thought it was the bag that turned you into a goon 🤔

[–] DisOne@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

Goon is the slang for any wine of questionable quality that comes in a goon bag. Probably the wine turns you into a goon after you drink it

like the famous clothing brand Canada Goon

U coukd easily wank into that

"goon

Well-known slang term in sexual subculture of chronic and compulsive masturbators"

Thank you Urban Dictionary. I didn't need to know this.

At least now you can refer to yourself in a more simplified way to explain your actions

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Goon is a hockey term. It's based on, I think, mob culture.

Kids repurposing it is just another case of Fetch.

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It was originally used for thugs, like in the Mafia.

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 days ago

In the context of sexual activity, it originally referred to chem sex (usually stimulants)

[–] AngryRobot@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

That's close, but goofinng also means that you don't cum so that you stay in a constantly aroused state.

[–] laranis@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 days ago

I didn't get it until your comment, so you've got that in me.

"Honey, time for work!"

"Aw just five more minutes!"

The angle of the picture doesn't help.

[–] lunarul@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

It's not the angle. The spacing is clearly equal between all letters of GOON.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 1 points 3 days ago

Ok, I did it for five more minutes then.

Instructions unclear. Please send bail money.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

not saying that it's 100% the case, but it is easy to photoshop the "go" and push it close to "on"

the layout of the text is intentionally very blocky, and it looks correctly blocky this way

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Where the bad guys train

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

I know I can do it, and don't call me a goon.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 5 points 3 days ago

Goon of fortune!
