    You goober

    When you ask a question like this...

    Which of these two sentances is correct or are they both right
    you leave no room for the last solution proposed in your 3rd post and also you make me wonder if you know how to spell the word sentence

    I just found it when I was trying to help me son with some homework,didn't really understand it myself but thought it may have been of interest to some of the cleverer members of the board

    Never been called a goober before,I love the way I can get insulted on a worldwide scale here


    Regional Note: Most Southerners recognize the terms goober and goober pea as other names for the peanut. Goober is related to Kongo or Kimbundu n-guba, “peanut.” The word is especially interesting as one of a small stock of African language borrowings brought over by slaves. Most of these words have to do with the food items imported from Africa for the slaves to eat. In this category are gumbo, “okra,” which is of Bantu origin, and yam, which is of West African origin. The noun cooter is related to the Mandingo word kuta and the Tshiluba word nkudu, both meaning “turtle.” Cooter is still used in South Carolina, Georgia, and the Gulf states to denote the edible freshwater turtle of the genus Chrysemys and, by extension, other turtles and tortoises.

    goober is such a mild insult that it hardly qualifies as an insult at all

    in other words, it's a playful way to pick on someone

    if i have to learn "innit" "rubbish" "fucked off" ect... you can learn some of mine

    Pretty interesting, Gripper.

    If I was a wordsmith, I'd be enthralled.
    I plan on beating him to death with his kids. I'll use them as a bludgeon on his face. -

    Me neither, I shall hazard a guess tho'.

    I reckon it's some guy who posts a lot on whichever forum Gripper found that on.

    Like when you're particular about apostrophes, people might say to do it properly is 'JP style'.
