    I train combat sports and Gen X still refers to mean-moves-that-work-fast as "gooning".

    Cut to Me sitting next to a bunch of teenage boys when a female instructor says it and I had to give them all the stfu look.

    Two good songs called Goon Squad that are still very good even after their titular implications have been shifted dramatically by the sands of society:

    Deftones - Goon Squad

    Elvis Costello & The Attractions - Goon Squad

    The term gooning makes me cringe so hard. Yall like looking like you are pathetic or powerless to resist someone else? Seems like a weird type of incel begging. Definitely seems like its people trying to normalize unhealthy obsession and cringy worshiping.
