Wait, goober is a foodstuff?

Another name for a peanut. Not sure how it became a soft pejorative, but I’m a fan

What?
I’ve literally never heard of goober as meaning peanut.
I thought it basically just meant ‘glob’ when describing a physical thing, and when describing a person, basically the same as ‘derpy’, like uh, silly, absent minded, something like that, and is mostly meant in an at least semi endearing way.

It’s why the Goofy Goober from SpongeBob is a peanut

It’s a borrowed African word. Borrowed in the 1800s. Borrowed by Americans. Borrowed. But it eventually shifted at some point in the last century to the definition most people are familiar with, though I can’t figure out how or why.
