Can You Name A Movie About “Goof Off Day?”

National Goof Off Day on March 22nd each year allows everyone to have a little extra fun. The day is also known as International Goof Off Day.

It is a day to relax, enjoy and goof off. Do something fun and leave the work until tomorrow. Everybody needs to take a break from time to time. It is often so easy to get so involved in the work and pressures in our lives. So stop, take a break, and find something different!

  • 1570 – The word ‘goof’ first appears in the English language, originally written as ‘goff.’
  • 1963 – The composite ‘goof off’ is used for the first time.
  • 1976 – Goof Off Day was invented by Monica (Moeller) Dufour, a 10-year-old resident of Davidson, MI who had quite simply had enough of every moment of every day being dedicated to doing something.

  • Wear something funky.
  • Let any goofy idea pop into your head.
