Goof

The Canadian equivalent of the american term, punk. A word used in the Canadian prison system to describe informers, molestors, child killers and all inmates segregated from the general population in protective custody. In a looser sense, anyone who has become hated by the prison population in general for suspect behaviour, or irritating behaviour may be thought of as a goof.

To be called a goof, espescially if not true must be met by instant violence or you will lose all respect formerly given to you. If this isn't done, or you are incapable of defending yourself you may as well "check in." (ask to be moved to P.C., protective custody)

" You'd better check in dude, that guy called you a goof and you didn't answer." "That was a big mistake, even if you had ended up taking a beating it would have been better than doing your bit in p.c. with all those goof rats, skinners and kiddy diddlers." "Oh yeah, by the way, don't talk to me anymore. I don't want to be seen talking to a goof from p.c."

Goof

A Canadian term that originated in the jails across the country for sex offenders/Child molesters. These people were put on their own wing away from general population because they’re widely disliked by everyone who isn’t in there for sex crimes, and even some of those guys don’t like each other.

Not a very friendly word to anyone who has served time, but for anybody else that hasn’t been in the system themselves or doesn’t know a lot about it or know anyone who’s been, the word is a popular term that is simply The equivalent to the word “punk”... just watch out who you call a goof because a lot of people (especially older generations) will NOT take it lightly

Prisoner 1: you see that guy he just got on the range today, I think he might be a goof
Prisoner 2: I really hope not or I’ll have to give him a buck-fifty in the shower

Or

Kid 1: Gerald been wilin’ and doing goofy shit all summer
Kid 2: that mans been a goof

goof

Old English word for a freak or side show performer, i.e. a person who would bite the heads off of animals as public entertainment. More recently used a highly offensive prison and urban slang word translating into 'pedophile' or 'sexual deviant'. Offending 'goofs' are isolated in prison and outcasts in public for fears of being assualted or killed. This would be in a criminology context however. 'Goof' can be used as a harmless noun or verb if the intention of the underground meaning of the word is unknown i.e 'stop goofing around'. In most inner cities in the United States and Canada the word 'goof' would be interpreted as a serious insult i.e. 'fighting words'.
