Goofy
Needs attributive cites. --Yair rand 00:36, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * What about ? Not exactly an attributive use in the strict sense that would require "goofy people", but rather close to it. Interestingly, the found hits use "goofy" with lowercase "g".
 * What searches have you used in your attempt to find attributive uses of "Goofy"? --Dan Polansky 13:45, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Goofy got his name from goofy, which is presumably from goof, which probably preceded goof. In writing only the capitalized form is likely to reflect attributive use of the proper noun. One of the characters most distinguishing features was his "goofy-sounding" voice. Just as in Donald Duck, that might be the kind of thing that generated attributive use that was of the proper noun. If there were a copyright-free sound clip of the Goofy laugh (Note the attributive use.) or an imitation of it, that would be a useful ostensive definition. DCDuring TALK 14:54, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Oops; you are right; the capitalization is crucial. --Dan Polansky 15:01, 4 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Needs attributive cites with a widely-understood meaning. Citations which support the definition “of or pertaining to Goofy” don't qualify. —Michael Z. 2010-03-09 21:55 z
