gooder
Child's grammar mistake
Gooder is a nonstandard comparative form of good, used humorously or in deliberate imitation of child speech: This one is gooder than that one.
Children naturally produce it before learning that good takes the irregular comparative better.
Adults use it playfully or ironically, sometimes in the phrase gooder and gooder.
