'Gooner' has two completely different meanings. The traditional one is a fan of Arsenal Football Club ('the Gunners' → 'Gooners') and is harmless. The modern, much more common online meaning refers to a man who compulsively consumes pornography for long sessions, often in a self-deprecating internet-humour context. The two senses share a spelling but nothing else. If your teenage son uses 'gooner' in football chat, fine; if it appears with other internet slang, it likely carries the second meaning and is worth a calm conversation.

For parents
'Gooner' has two completely different meanings. The traditional one is a fan of Arsenal Football Club ('the Gunners' → 'Gooners') and is harmless. The modern, much more common online meaning refers to a man who compulsively consumes pornography for long sessions, often in a self-deprecating internet-humour context. The two senses share a spelling but nothing else. If your teenage son uses 'gooner' in football chat, fine; if it appears with other internet slang, it likely carries the second meaning and is worth a calm conversation.
For ESL learners
'Gooner' has two distinct meanings. (1) Football: a supporter of Arsenal Football Club ('the Gunners'), longstanding and innocuous. (2) Internet: a man who compulsively consumes pornography for extended sessions, originating in late-2010s online subcultures. Register: informal in both senses; vulgar in sense 2. In formal English avoid sense 2 entirely; sense 1 is appropriate in sports writing. A common learner mistake is to use sense 1 in non-football contexts and be heard as sense 2 by younger online speakers.

For specific readers
Why is this section here?
Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.
