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"

Gowngooning

When suck-ups and shills dog pile someone who dares to question the integrity or honesty of their in-group's activities, particularly in defense of authority they hope to earn favor from. Often seen in online communities or workplaces, where individuals seek to protect the status quo or curry favor with those in power by collectively attacking dissenters.

I pointed out how shady it was that one person averages more than 4 raffle wins every October event, and within minutes there was gowngooning by the whole group trying to shut me down.

Whale

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.

"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."

city chicken

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.

Are yinz havin' city chicken for dinner?
