  1. I am a fan of informative content, especially when it's this good. Your views are interesting and I really like that. Thank you for making your article clear and easy to understand. That's nice change. Goid is also uses as a hip new word for good. People rarely also uses this word to refer to rascal kids as goid. Define Dictionary Meaning is an easy to use platform where anyone can create and share short informal definition of any word. Best thing is, its free and you can even contribute without creating an account.
