Definitions by The Original Agahnim

Goofus became wicked due to lack of corporal (of/to the body via Latin loan words) punishment as a kid. Goofus thought that it was okay for him/her to hit others, but that it was a crime for anyone to hit him/her because of Goofus's upbringing, though Goofus would always claim that he/she was hitting back or that it was self-defense no matter what if he/she knew that the right authority figures were watching or listening.

If Goofus and Gallant are night and day, Goofus is the silly part of it.
Goofus became a goofus due to a lack of corporal (to/of the body via Latin loan words) punishment as a kid, and thought that everyone else became (got to become) a goofus as a kid too.

Robert Ford 

Goofus of the Goofus and Gallant short stories from the kids Highlights magazines that were out back in the 90's. Neither of the two charcters was superior to the other, but they were clearly different kinds of people.
Robert Ford was a male Goofus, though not all goofuses are male.

Mollycoddle

Someone that can't take criticism that is otherwise not unfair or illegitimate because they don't like it.
It's one thing to feel outraged by criticism that isn't based on what a person is really like, when it is full of falsehoods and malicious intent and the other person is just talking shit. Nobody likes to be criticized, but really it's a matter of whether the criticism makes sense or is not unfair to the other person, and it doesn't have to be good natured to be legitimate. To a mollycoddle, it all sounds like abuse or misjudgement.

Tough love

What kids that didn't get ass whoopings as kids never got enough of.
She is attention and hug seeking because her father never once wooped her ass (even her mother mollycoddled her and never wooped her ass, and gave her any attention she demanded to get as a kid, and thus she can't do without attention or other people around her all the time), so she doesn't know what tough love is, and thinks the world isn't compassionate enough. She has a geeky sense of innocence within herself and others that doesn't exist in reality, where no humans are entirely innocent or undeserving of suffering. In reality, her sense of justice is that any rule or law that supports her and gets somebody else in trouble is right and just, no matter the rule or law, and any rule or law that disagrees with her or would get her in trouble was unjust, though people like her never actually faced the same consequences everybody else would over breaking rules and laws.

Robert Ford 

The kind of person that really stole the show
Robert Ford would steal your life and try to make a show or a play out of it. Show and play were words that accurately described the life of someone like Robert Ford.

Goldmember 

A golden penis.
Due to an unfortunate smelting accident, Goldmember had a penis made of gold.
