pity the gamecharacter can't reply with:
a) get your english sorted out
b) are you trying to make a move on me?
c) have you been doing drugs again lately?

Maybe it´s not too hard to guess..
As those baddies in Mopiranger are called Razzons, and that "NO BIG RAZZON" always comes at the start of the each level, I have always understood that "NO BIG RAZZON" is just a good play on words, and simply means NO BIG DEAL!! Or do YOU all use strictly perfect literary language all the time?!
Thought I haven´t interviewed konamis so I cannot be 100% sure, but it seems like that!

Perhaps they were trying to find a decent translation of "I fucked up"  |

Hmm.. Maybe you should not be so harsh on other peoples English!
I GOOFED is actually perfectly good English
It means "I screwed up" (But with a bit of "I`m stupid" in it..) |

Yeah, our English sucks as well ^_^. I think it's safe to say "I goofed" is 'odd' English, though. Probably the last thing you'd expect an action hero such as Solid Snake to say in this situation |

Goofy got his name because he is just that: Goofy
I don`t think this English is so odd, and when I searched Google now it showed 61 700 hits on "I goofed" |
