Goons dwell in caves, more specifically man caves.
What would a man do in a cave?

The use of "gooning" in the context of prolonged, mindless indulgence in adult content or other immersive online activities is a relatively recent and niche slang term. Its exact origin is not well-documented, but it likely stems from the broader, older meaning of "goon" as someone who is behaving in a mindless or obsessive way. Here's a breakdown of how this might have evolved:

1. **"Goon" as a Mindless Enforcer**: Historically, "goon" referred to a thug or enforcer, someone who acts without much thought or subtlety. Over time, the term evolved to describe someone who is acting in a foolish, obsessive, or overly focused manner, often to the point of losing awareness of their surroundings.

2. **Internet Subculture Adoption**: In certain online communities, particularly those centered around adult content or other immersive activities, the term "gooning" was adopted to describe a state of being completely absorbed in the activity. This could involve losing track of time, reality, or even one's sense of self, akin to the mindless behavior historically associated with "goons."

3. **Cultural and Linguistic Evolution**: Language, especially slang, evolves rapidly within subcultures. The term "gooning" likely gained traction because it succinctly captured the idea of being lost in a repetitive, mindless, or obsessive activity. The playful, slightly self-deprecating nature of the term might have also contributed to its adoption.

In summary, "gooning" in this context is called so because it draws on the older connotations of "goon" as someone who acts in a mindless or obsessive manner. The term was adapted by online communities to describe a state of being completely absorbed in an activity, often to the point of losing awareness of time or reality.

You are not esoteric enough to see the comical spiritual meaning, mutt.
