Keir Starmer raises eyebrows as he proudly declares himself a 'gooner'

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called himself a "gooner" during a speech to parliament Wednesday, seemingly unaware of the derogatory meaning in the U.S. The slang term has two meanings in the U.K. and U.S., respectively. When a Brit calls themselves "gooners," they are emphasizing their support for the Arsenal Football Club. However, Americans refer to "gooners" as impulsive *********** addicts who are known to be chronic ************. Starmer's innocent intention to connect with sports fans across his native country prompted comical reactions from users on X. "Mr. speaker, I am a gooner," the British premier told his colleagues.
