    ‘Gooner’ = Arsenal FC fan. We’ve used that term for decades (it started out as a sarcastic variation of ‘gunner’ used by opposition fans, but we adopted it). This stupid new slang meaning for the word can fuck off.

      Here (AU) goon is a (bad, usually) 4L box wine. Seems like the word has a lot of meanings. I saw a meme with ‘I answered your call mid goon, that’s how much I respect you’ and was like, if I answer you mid goon, I so don’t respect you.
