basically a goober is just a kindhearted, rather oblivious goofball. it's term of endearment really. it comes from the ancient scottish verb "to goub", which has to do with doing a dance and smiling sheepishly while doing so, exposing the goubs in one's teeth.

A term of endearment used in place of a person's real name; a nickmame. The first word that comes to mind when your baby starts to crawl, walk, talk. Used only in the most loving of ways with no negative connation at all. A loving nickname for someone who is pure, innocent, warms your heart and makes you smile.

(also can be called a goob)
1.a person who could very possibly be well-meaning, but is incredibly awkward to the point of making those around him or her feel uncomfortable and twitchy.
2. a person who, again, may be well-meaning, but has extremely annoying personal habits that annoy the hell out of everyone.

examples of signs of gooberosity:
chews gum extremely loud with mouth open (not obnoxious-on-purpose, but more obnoxious-without-realizing-it); always wears pants that are slightly too short or sleeves slightly too small; often uses a rolling backpack; squints a lot; has trouble controlling the volume of his or her voice; interrupts others to tell uninteresting stories but doesn't realize it; often enthuastic about everything; and, the most significant goober sign: Heavy Mouth Breather.

These signs of goobdom are not condemning a person, because goobs can very often be quite entertaining and cool, but have gooby qualities about them.
