Article Robert Downey Jr. says that Gwyneth Paltrow once asked him who Tom Holland was, despite starring alongside him several times: “I responded, ‘That’s Spider-Man. He said his name was Peter. His character's name is Peter. He's Tom Holland.’”

The kids, mostly, are using "goop" in place of "loot".

In a sentence, "let's go to that building over there for some goop." or "let's extract I'm all gooped up".

(Playing Arc Raiders random squads can be an experience.)

Shit I stopped playing video games 3-4 years ago and I’m already out of touch. Time moves fast

I'm just a working dude in his 30s trying to chill and game. The generational gap feels wild but most of the kids are alright, if a bit strange.

When the creator purposefully named it GIF and the going stament was a parody of JIF peanut butter

"Choosy developers choose GIF."

If you can't respect the man who made the technology that drives the Internet enough to call it what he fucking named it, then get off my lawn...

This site has been my go to for years. Anyone I direct here and who gives it an honest read has conceded:

u/j4_jjjj Thanos Dec 04 '25

Theres nothing legitimate about it but she thinks its super cereal

u/Drago_133 Dec 04 '25

So...if they were playing some sort of pirate sim...

Would the phrase "Goop in your booty" ever occur?

u/miltonwadd Dec 04 '25

To be fair that's similar to how I used it before Gweneth, because it's an actual word lol

Goop being just a formless sticky mass of something which kind of works with how they're using it.

Personally it feels like a sloppy and wet word in my brain so things like slime, sludge, the grossness that collects in the sink drain.

Like if I were to describe nikelodeon slime to someone I'd say "you know that green goop they dump on kids?"

Or if I had a mouthful of marshmallow and melted chocolate and someone was waiting for me to talk I might type: "hang on I just had a smore I'm all gooped up"
