EXPLANATION

"Goofy" means being silly or funny in a playful way. Like when someone makes a weird face or tells a cheesy joke just to make you laugh, they’re being *goofy*. It’s lighthearted and fun, not serious or formal. Think of it as acting a little ridiculous in a way that makes people smile or chuckle. οΏ½οΏ½
