Geoff:
I think your definition is where the problem lies. I don't know 
whether you are a contributor from the US but, in UK terms, "goody 
two shoes" is normally used as a derogatory term of description. It 
is someone who is too "squeaky clean", too "nice" to be true, if you 
get my drift.

If I was told I was a "goody two shoes", I think I would be quite 
irritated and annoyed.
