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

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

U coukd easily wank into that

[–] DisOne@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Correct - the goon bag is what the goon comes in

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months 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 4 points 2 months 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

[–] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

like the famous clothing brand Canada Goon

"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 2 months 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 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

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

[–] AngryRobot@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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 2 months ago

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

The angle of the picture doesn't help.

[–] lunarul@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 1 points 2 months ago

Ok, I did it for five more minutes then.

Instructions unclear. Please send bail money.

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

This is why keming is always important.

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Where the bad guys train

[–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 months ago

"Honey, time for work!"

"Aw just five more minutes!"

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months 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"

[–] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 5 points 2 months ago

Goon of fortune!

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

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