goongooning

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!"

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
