Those weak enemies from Super Mario Brothers that walk in one direction and moves another direction when it bumps into something.

Sicilian or immigrant Italian term of endearment, used to mean a close friend

An Italian American, and only an Italian America, who has ties with the mafia or any goodfellas. He is in no way a gangster or a mobster himself. He sits down eating only pasta wearing vinyl suits and massive jewelry

The hottest Mario enemy ever created and I would totally smash.

Goomba is the phonetic spelling of the term "cumpà", which is the way people from Southern Italy used to pronounce the word "compare", that is "godfather". From the original sense it was gradually extended to mean a friend, a partner, etc.

Derived from Italian, meaning close friend, or accomplice, mentor. Actually spelled Goombah.

1: a weak enemy in almost all Mario Games. Have tendancies to die when pressure is applyed to the head.
2:An ethnic slurr for italian americans

Taken from an Italian word meaning friend, the word is mostly used today as insulting term for Italian-Americans. By calling someone a Goomba, you are implying that they have ties to the mafia.

An Italian New Yorker with greased back hair carrying a baseball bat saying "Hey Tony, get a load of Sammy Sosa over here!" to ever black person that walks past him may be called a Goomba.

Goomba: N/Adj. - A Goomba is not just a member of a marching band, but a life style. Goomba can be used to describe not only a person but things such as clothing items and attitude. According to recent studies held by Zeta Iota Tau, 88% percent of the "Goin Band from Raiderland" consists of Goombas led by the other 12% (8% ZIT, 4% "Normal People"). Goombas are usually abnormally happy and or excited about everything that causes discomfort among the other 12% of the Goin Band from Raiderland. Be it rehearsing in the rain, freezing cold or haboobs, Goombas seem to mistake terrible situations for a time to party. Goombas (also known as "Band-o's" in other regions) are generally disliked by the normal population due to interrupting calm days on campus by running around with nerf guns shooting each other. In closing remarks, Goombas are unavoidable and seem to multiply day by day, and there is nothing we can do to get away from them. So in the end, no matter how much we wish it was different, we must coexist with them. Pokeaholeinya.
