Does 'goofy goober' also mean 'a person who likes to make jokes'?
Yes, it can work that way. (It's slang, so it is very flexible.)

Hello. Could you explain the different meanings of ''mustn't'' and ''don't have?'' I have some books that give different explanation. Thank in advance! :D
"Mustn't" = must not, e.g., You mustn't touch the paintings at the museum. She mustn't be late to the job interview. We mustn't eat too much before swimming.
"Don't have" = do not have, e.g, You don't have enough money to pay for the meal. They don't have any homework tonight.
Your question is probably about "must not" vs. "don't have to." "Must not" means that something is forbidden, illegal, not allowed, etc. "Don't have to" means that something is not required. For example, "You don't have to wear a tie to the job interview, but you mustn't wear a T-shirt or a tank top."
"Don't have" = do not have, e.g, You don't have enough money to pay for the meal. They don't have any homework tonight.

"has anyone told you that the good things don't last forever?" is it correct?
Yes, it is.

Anyone who watched "The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie" would be familiar with this term. It's an informal term that basically means "a fun-loving person who acts silly and childish."

It means that I was in the past, but not anymore, e.g., "I used to be fluent in Spanish, but I can barely speak it now." "I used to be the best student in the class, but that was before I failed the last two exams."
can you tell me the difference between the word 'either' and 'neither and how to use it? thanks
We use EITHER ... OR when we want to refer to a choice between two possibilities:
- Nan feels like eating EITHER tacos OR ramen for lunch.
- Henry will EITHER wash his car OR write 100 test questions today.
- Peter will be EITHER skiing OR snowboarding when we see him later this afternoon.
We use NEITHER ... NOR when we want to say that two or more things are NOT true:
- NEITHER Henry NOR Peter feels like going to the gym today.
- We like NEITHER to study NOR to write papers on such a beautiful day.
- Nan wants to watch NEITHER the movies on Netflix NOR the videos on YouTube.

What the meaning of 'relatable'? When we can use that word?
It means that you can relate to (i.e., understand) something or someone, e.g., Nan's nephew enjoyed the novel because he found the protagonist heroic yet relatable.
On the Internet, you will see many posts or images that say "relatable." They will present a situation that readers will be able to relate to, i.e., it has happened to them or to someone they know. (See picture.)

(on / at) the weekend. *which one is the most accurate ??
We've heard that "at the weekend" is right in British English. But we speak American English, and we never use "at the weekend." We might use "on the weekend," but our preferred choice would be "over the weekend," e.g., Henry and Nan painted the garage over the weekend.
what does blow the trumpet mean ?!
"Blow the trumpet" is not an idiom, so it would mean to literally play the trumpet. 🎺"Blow your own trumpet" is a common idiom that means "to brag about yourself." (It is the same as "toot your own horn," another popular idiom.)
if i am to...what does this actually refer to ?! i still get confused
"If I am to ..." is another way of saying "If I am going to ..." For example, "If I am to work with you, I need a private office, a new iMac, and daily coffee stipend of $20."

What is the meaning of inbefore(?) and how to use it?
"In before" or "inb4" is a term used by posters on Internet forums to show that they are the first to type a comment.
Nan: There's no way Luffy can even come close to beating Ichigo in a fight.
Henry: inb4 Gear Fourth.
In the above example, Henry wanted to get "in before" everyone else also responded with "Gear Fourth." In other words, he wanted to be the first to say it. It's strictly an Internet thing.
Nan: There's no way Luffy can even come close to beating Ichigo in a fight.
Henry: inb4 Gear Fourth.

a flock of birds (is/are) flying high in the sky. state the reasons. thnx 😻😻😻
"A flock" is singular, so it should be "is flying." Similarly, "A group of boys IS missing." "A rare collection of books IS on sale." This is called subject-verb agreement, and we wrote an article about this: http://bit.ly/1zLxtkU
Is this sentence right? "She smokes very heavily."
People will understand what you're trying to say, but very few people say it that way. "She is a heavy smoker" or "She is a chain smoker" would be better. 🚬
let's go or lets go?
"Let's go" is something you say to someone when you want to go somewhere: "Let's go to the beach!" "Let's go shopping!"
"Lets go" isn't always wrong, but it's rarely used. "Lets go" means "releases," e.g., "Every time she goes fishing, she let's go of the string too early." 🎣
