A goofus often dedicates every
minute of every
day to being a
gangster or something similar (and usually thinks other people live the same way as them, or wants to be the same thing as them).
He/she
spent his/her entire life trying to pull the strings of other people who were were too
uptight to be in that life only gangsters knew. He/she was good enough at it, you wouldn't even
think he/she was ever a goofus.
