The Bengali word for multiplication is গুন, which is pronounced like goon. As the uncle with a math degree, I'm sometimes asked to help my nephews with their math homework. They're in high school. They can't stop grinning when we talk about multiplication. Brainrot is truly cross-cultural, I guess.
In EvE Online, Goonswarm Federation usually goes by Imperium these days to crib GamesWorkshops branding for 40k and to get away from their old leader and past problomatic branding... For an online army of 10k angry nerds, got to look presentable...
I will admit, online names used to have a bit more leaniency for being immature.

Makes me think that "goon" was a self censorship of "gun".

Arsenal FC and its fanbase have always been known as the Gooners (Gunners).
We are the biggest victims of this

Ah, the cry of teen parties everywhere in Australia when someone rips open the box, exposing the bladder: "Gooooooon!"

I miss when goon was a hockey term.
tempest@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 164d
It still is isn't it? Or is it enforcer? Or is it "GET YOUR PARLAY IN NOW WITH BET365"
Flying_Penguin@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 164d
They are enforcers and even that's slowly fading away.

It’s like pov or insulting people as npc. I kind of like that the newer generations used more gaming words. The kids of gaming parents are talking :D
