Where did the phrase your such a goofball come from?
I may be wrong but during WWII the government used to give out barbiturates to the soldiers so that they're respiratory and circulatory system would be less active and they wouldn't suffer from heat exhaustion. The pills were aptly nicknamed "goofballs" for the intoxicating effect they had on the soldiers. I do believe that is where the expression comes from, A person who you would call a goofball is someone who is acting silly as i they were under the influence.

What is casual listening?
Causal ListeningCausal listening, the most common, consists of listening to a sound in orderto gather information about its cause (or source). When the cause is visible,sound can provide supplementary information about it; for example, thesound produced by an enclosed container when you tap it indicates how full itis. When we cannot see the sound's cause, sound can constitute our principalsource of information about it. An unseen cause might be identified by someknowledge or logical prognostication; causal listening (which rarely departsfrom zero) can elaborate on this knowledge.We must take care not to overestimate the accuracy and potential of causallistening, its capacity to furnish sure, precise data solely on the basis ofanalyzing sound. In reality, causal listening is not only the most common butalso the most easily influenced and deceptive mode of listening.Identifying Causes: From the Unique to the GeneralCausal listening can take place on various levels. In some cases we canrecognize the precise cause: a specific person's voice, the sound produced byparticular unique object. But we rarely recognize a unique source exclusivelyon the basis of sound we hear out of context. The human individual isprobably the only cause that can produce a sound, the speaking voice, whichcharacterizes that individual alone. Different dogs of the same species havethe same bark. Or at least (and for most people it adds up to the same thing)we are not capable of distinguishing the barking of one bulldog from that ofanother bulldog or even a dog of a related breed. Even though dogs seem tobe able to identify their master's voice from among hundreds of voices, it isquite doubtful that the master, with eyes closed and lacking furtherinformation, could similarly discern the voice of her or his own dog. Whatobscures this weakness in our causal listening is that when we're at homeand hear barking in the back room, we can easily deduce that Fido or Roveris the responsible party.At the same time, a source we might be closely acquainted with can gounidentified and unnamed indefinitely. We can listen to a radio announcerevery day without having any idea of her name or physical attributes. Whichby no means prevents us from opening a file on this announcer in ourmemory, where vocal and personal details are noted, and where her nameand other traits (hair color, facial features -to which her voice gives us noclue) remain blank for the time being. For there is a considerable differencebetween taking note of the individual's vocal timbre and identifying her,having a visual image of her and committing it to memory and assigning hera name.In another kind of causal listening we do not recognize an individual, or aunique and particular item, but rather a category of human, mechanical, oranimal cause: an adult man's voice, a motorbike engine, the song of ameadowlark. Moreover, in still more ambiguous cases far more numerousthan one might think, what we recognize is only the general nature of thesound's cause. We may say, "That must be something mechanical" (identifiedby a certain rhythm, a regularity aptly called "mechanical"); or, "That mustbe some animal" or "a human sound." For lack of anything more specific, weidentify indices, particularly temporal ones, which we try to draw upon todiscern the nature of the cause.Even without identifying the source in the sense of the nature of the causalobject, we can still follow with precision the causal history of the sound itself.For example, we can trace the evolution of a scraping noise (accelerating,rapid, slowing down, etc.) and sense changes in pressure, speed, andamplitude without having any idea of what is scraping against what.The Source as a Rocket in StagesRemember that a sound often has not just one source but at east two, three,even more. Take the sound of the felt? tip pen with which I am writing thisdraft. The sound's two main sources are the pen and the paper. But there arealso the hand gestures involved in writing and, further, I who am writing. Ifthis sound is recorded and listened to on a tape recorder, sound sources willalso include the loudspeaker, the audiotape onto which the sound wasrecorded, and so forth.Let us note that in the cinema, causal listening is constantly manipulated bythe audiovisual contract itself, especially through the phenomenon ofsynchresis. Most of the time we are dealing not with the real initial causes ofthe sounds, but causes that the film makes us believe in.
