(noun) A term for an employee, servant, or
slave whose primary responsibility is to fetch items and bring them back to his or her boss, master, or owner. Formed by contraction of the words "go for". As in: "Go for coffee, go for doughnuts, go for
whatever we need you
damn 'gofer'."
"I sent my gofer for coffee over
twenty minutes ago. If he doesn't get
back soon, I'm
dropping his health care benefits!"
