'''Goon-baiting''' is a dynamic interaction between the prisoner and the guard, or an oppressor, whereby the prisoner, aiming to ensure he is not endangered, 'plays mind games, or does actions, to confuse or enrage a oppressor to the point of where he'd lose his composure.' Goon-baiting was a term used in WWII.
In WWII, in [[Prisoner-of-war_camp|prisoner-of-war camps]], goon-baiting was used amongst prisoners of all nationalities. The French sung banned songs without moving their lips at Appell. Goon-baiting was described as 'playing mind games to confuse or enrage a guard to the point of where he'd lose his composure.' Not quite sabotage; it was an art form, and the aim of goon-baiting was to achieve maximum impact without endangering yourself. Though not all prisoners participated in goon-baiting. Some thinking it was bad manners, others thinking it gave any oppressor an opportunity, or more reason to retaliate, therefore it only brought with it more suffering.
Examples of goon-baiting was for one prisoner to be counted more than once in Appell, in order to cover for a missing comrade, or sow some confusion; exaggerated salutes...
==Etymology==
Some claim the roots of the term 'goon' come from a 1930's cartoon character called [[Alice the Goon]] and people also used the term goon to describe an incompetent professional bully. Tunstall claims a fellow prisoner called Bill Fowler was the first to ever coin the term amongst the prisoners and that Fowler referenced a well known comic strip.
