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
