Definition
Silly, foolish, or clumsy in behavior; acting like a gooney or goon.
Etymology
Adjectival form derived from 'gooney' or 'goon'. The suffix shifts the noun meaning into a descriptive quality or characteristic behavior.
Kelly Says
Goony has become the feel-good way to describe silliness—it's much more affectionate than calling someone stupid, which is why it stuck around in casual speech.
