Goonie Goggles

noun: a point of view one holds for a movie, tv show or other form of entertainment that you adored as a child, so much so that as an adult, despite reflecting on it and realizing it is sub-par or flawed, you still think of it as excellent.

Conversely, someone who never experienced it as a child and does so for the first time as an adult might think it is awful and not understand why people adore it.

References the 1985 film "The Goonies," a children's movie with numerous technical flaws and editing mistakes, plot holes, terrible child acting and overall nonsense that had an atrocious critical reception but is beloved to adults who watched it as children.
"I just watched "Heathers" for the first time, and I don't understand why you like it. I thought it was stupid. I think you have Goonie Goggles for "Heathers".

Concert Goggles

When you go to a concert and the guy (or girl) on stage seems really hot, but when you google search them later they turn out to be average. Usually caused by being so drunk or into the music that you aren't seeing straight.
Abby screamed during the concert that she wanted the lead singer to be inside her, but when she looked him up the next morning she realized it was just concert goggles and that he was balding and had bad skin.

schlong-goggles

Much the same as beer goggles, though no alcohol is required; i.e the man's schlong makes a terrible, terrible decision about a girl best left alone. The brain is hardly involved, if at all.

This may occur after many months of sexual frustration, or simply if he is a slag.

verb; to schlong-goggle
