I didn't say anything, because I know you're a responsible young person on the way. The use of goto by beginners is in almost every instance an indication that loop constructs such as 'while' and 'for' and conditional constructs (ifs) are not truly understood. There was a post in the assembler forum recently that looked something like this:

Perform a test
if equal go to label2
if not equal go to label1
label1:
blah
blah
label2:

Hehe, I was just joking. Apparently I fail at sarcasm.

I've only used gotos once when I was upset with a teacher.

I use variable names at work such as "poop" sometimes when I can't think of a meaningful name off the top of my head. needless to say, the boss made me change them lol.

I have had plenty of 4 letter words in my development environment variables, fortunately, they didn't make their way into the production code.
