Very much a prison thing. Less so a jail thing if you catch the distinction. Either way, I've been called that lots of times in my line of work. Doesn't mean much to me even though I know it's a big insult for them. Nothing to do with brown people at all. Expect to get shanked if you say it to the wrong person.

that sounds like an admission of guilt
:troll:

As a couple people said goof is the worst word you can call someone in prison, its even more worse then nigger, chink etc basiclly a goof is someone who's the prison bitch and gets raped and shit.

I have a couple buddies who have done some time and you can joke around about it but if someone called him goof he didn't know the guy would be on the ground twitching more then Michael J Fox on a good bad day. I can tell ya one thing I don't think anyone would ever say that to my avatar lol

lol. fuck no. he still creeps me out man.

this is an interesting topic indeed,

I have seen people FREAK OUT over the word goof, shit if someone called me a goof I wouldnt care in the slightest, or they could call me anything for that matter,

Then again I am a white male, cant really get offended...

I think people who find this term highly offensive, but didn't do prison time, are just trying to be cool. Like the kids who fight over gang signs and "colors"

Last year I did 9 months. If you're calling someone a goof you are calling them a child molesting baby fucker. If you want to fight someone just call them a goof. If you are in there for kiddy crimes you get put in a unit called protective custody (PC) with all of the other goofs. If they were in the general population they would get beaten everyday.

Whistling is also a no no in jail but everyone knows that.

LOL! I've just never heard that association before.

I thought so haha. guess not.

Apparently, back in the day the guards in federal prisons in the US would whistle the day an inmate would be getting executed by means of death penalty. I think the whistling would kind of symbolize happiness for the guards which of course would anger the inmates.

goof is the worst word you could say to someone in prison
