What does “gooning” mean?
gooning
Oh okay, so — this one is pretty explicit, just a heads up!
It basically means spending a very long time doing something sexual alone, to the point where your mind goes kind of blank and you enter a trance-like state — like you're totally zoned out and not really thinking anymore.
Honestly, I didn't know this word before, but someone explained it to me recently. When I first heard it, the word "goon" made me picture someone with a silly, empty look on their face — and actually, that's kind of exactly where the word comes from! That vacant, mindless expression is the whole idea.
So "gooning" = going so deep into a kind of mindless pleasure that you lose track of everything around you, like you're hypnotized.
Definitely not a word for formal situations — it's very internet, very niche, and very adult! 😅
