So, apparently, the term goofy came from the 1937 Disney animation Hawaiian Holiday, where goofy was trying to surf and he tried twice regular and fell then when he tried it the other way he managed to stay up.
This was only so that he would always be facing the 'camera'.
This may not be true but I like it and don't want anyone to disprove it.
