For example, if someone wears a bright pink wig to a party, their friend might laugh and say "Oh, you're really going all out, aren't you? That outfit is super goofy!" This means the person is being playful and trying to have fun. But if someone does something clumsy and trips over their own feet, it could also be called goofy.
