Goon Squad : (노동 쟁의에 고용된) 폭력단
1)
a good is either a thug of violent criminal who gets money from the boss to treathen people
there were two bouncers outside the discotheque, there were two goons standing there saying who could or couldn't get in
I think this use of goon is more American
you will see this a lot in Hollywood cinema, the criminal mastermind and his goons went round extorting money from the shopkeepers in the local area
a violent aggresive thug who goes around beating people up
somebody hired to terrorize opponents and enforcer if you like
a goon is a criminal
a great big bruiser
a huge big guy
a knuckle-dragger
a henchman
somebody with little intelligence
a hired goon
if you don't pay your protection money, he'll send his goons around to destroyyour business
2)
a goond is probably a little bit old-fashioned but a much more British, a silly person somebody who is stupid or who is an idiot
a goon, an eccentric rather silly person
somebody who is a bit silly
don't be such a goon
there used too be a radio program on the BBC in the 1950s and I think called the goons
the original title was crazy people
they are idiots
they are goons
they are morons
they were rather crasy and stupid
somebody who is silly awkward, a bit strange, a bit outlandish
3)
also another use to note, duing the second world war, the British prisoner of war used to call the guards goons
I guess if you were in prision, you might say the goods are there
4)
you've got a phrase ' the goon squad'
a group of hired thugs who are going to do violenet things and hurt people
be careful of the good squad
Formality : 3.5
