Perhaps the single most frequent individual use of it in public is people directly quoting
Python.
Then there's discussions in scrapyards and automotive repair establishments, perhaps: "That blue hatchback with the rear imact damage... is it a goer, do you think?"
After that there's likely only increasingly more obscure uses like the discussion about the current boy/girl-friend in a wobbly relationship, where the conversation with more platonic and long-term acquaintances hark back to the lyrics of
The Clash, where (by dint of comparison against "a stayer"), and then it may be deemed an autoantonym to the Pythonesque version.
(It's a valid and viable ad-hoc construction atop a common root, I'd say, but not itself a common word. Dialect usages may be more common.)
