Goof is regional prison slang for child molester, and more generally means the lowest of the low. Calling someone a goof is grade A "fighting words" that require an immediate reaction in a number of local milieu, as I've witnessed on a few occasions.

So yeah, if you're crawling dive bars in Vancouver, don't call random dudes a "goof".

Outside of Tyr, "y'all" has no racist connotations for Brits at all. Anyone who has ever watched a film set on the south, or listened to hip hop or heard an interview with a black person from the south knows that it's a non-racial part of the dialect. Outside of the south it seems to be used more by black people than white (going by music, TV etc)
