    Here (AU) goon is a (bad, usually) 4L box wine. Seems like the word has a lot of meanings. I saw a meme with ‘I answered your call mid goon, that’s how much I respect you’ and was like, if I answer you mid goon, I so don’t respect you.

      I once met some German tourists while I was at a hostel in Adelaide. They told me they’d been told Goon Bag was Aboriginal for pillow and I laughed for the rest of the night. And most of the next day.

        For certain values of sexy, goon goggles may apply. Very likely children out there as a result. Remember the game where you spin a hills hoist with a goon attached?
