I'm so confused. How can this thread be but a babe in swaddling clothes and still be an adult?

A goober is a type of US snack? Interesting. It's not really a word that's used much here in Australia. But I've always used it to describe a Muppet (silly/cheeky person). :)

"Goober" used to be another word for peanuts. It is also a word for people who aren't bright, or are intelligent but have a mental lapse and do something stupid.

Here's a good definition of "goober."

I don't think Once is unintelligent. I just think he's cheeky/silly. :)

Well the term might be used different in different parts of the world.

Though my friends say I have more than average intelligence, I have been a goober sometimes. And probably will be at some point in the future.

Sometimes, you feel like a nut; sometimes, you don't. Goober (a nut) - that could be a very real description for some people. I've certainly encountered some people like that.

Um. Were they speaking another language? I couldn't make out much of what they were saying. And is it just me, or did they purposefully get people who can't sing for peanuts (haw, haw) to sing?

Sirk, I am unable to understand your love language because you posted something completely random. Do you believe in keeping ties or burning bridges? It's a tough decision to make, so where does your loyalty lie??!! In any case, I would advise you to trust your gut; it could be the Holy Spirit talking.

:p

I did too! And I even posted a humorous remark in response.

You hurt my feelings, Cat. :(
