Definition
Plural of 'goof'; silly or foolish mistakes, or silly people; also used as a verb meaning to make mistakes or act foolishly.
Etymology
From 'goof,' which likely derives from the Disney character Goofy (created in 1932) or from earlier slang meaning 'a foolish person' or 'to make a mistake.' The word may also be influenced by 'goofy,' an adjective of uncertain origin.
Kelly Says
The word 'goof' blew up in popularity after Disney created the character Goofy in the 1930s, showing how pop culture can actually shape everyday language—within decades, 'goof' became a standard word for silly mistakes!
