goober

Slang for dope

A goober is a peanut, chiefly in Southern American dialect.

More commonly now, goober means a goofy, silly, or endearingly awkward person: He's such a goober.

The tone is affectionate rather than cutting—you'd call a friend a goober, not an enemy.

Stop being a goober and just ask her out.
