What is it about "goof' that I don't understand?
St. Catharines Standard
Years ago when I was a social worker in Toronto one of my clients was badly beaten by her boyfriend. When I asked him what had brought on such a violent attack he replied, "she called me a goof" as if this were such an egregious affront that it justified his behaviour. Apparently goof is a very powerful epithet indeed (followed closely by geek and dork, I presume).
A St. Catharines man who held a steak knife to his girlfriend's neck and threatened to kill her because she called him a goof, will return to court next month for sentencing.
