It means any form of wasting
time, and is often used on social media as a synonym of the word "Doomscrolling". Many people do not like this
new definition to the word and oppose it as I do myself but sadly more and more people are using this definition. This meaning the word is also the meaning of the word used in the word "jestergooning". The defintion overtime has been greatly broadened.
Context: (February 2026 meaning) Technically, the term is goongooning as it is a compound, but people really just say
gooning. This seems redundant, that because it is, but it is made to make some sort of differentiation between the main meaning of
gooning and the second, more niche meaning, which is this
one.
"To
goon or to maxx, that is the question."
"Stop gooning on
tiktok bro do your
work!"
"He gooned in his bed asleep instead of getting up when he knew he had stuff to do".
"He was goongooning on reels"
