Etymology
Regular plural of 'goonie', with the same etymological roots. The term gained massive cultural currency through the 1985 film that made it synonymous with quirky underdogs.
Kelly Says
The Goonies movie showed that 'goonies' could be endearing—the word shifted from purely negative to affectionately describing scrappy, well-meaning misfits.
