The word "gubernatorial" as in "gubernatorial election" (election of a governor) cracks me up. Because I always hear it as "goobernatorial" as in the governor is a goober.

Can we just swap the word "governor" for "goober" generally? Please? Just for fun?

"The Board of Goobers"
"The Goober's Office"

Why not? Can't we have fun?

@futurebird Yes! And fun fact: Jimmy Carter farmed goobers while he was Goober of Georgia.

@futurebird Not only that, there’s (or should be) “bugernatorial.”

@futurebird a double of “cyber”. So totally valid to speak of, say, a goobersecurity expert.

@futurebird It sounds like a four year old made the word up.
