You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
So goodwill=Extra Money We Can Pull Because We're So Awesome, Booyah!
Not exactly, because of an important point tommyrot mentioned: a company accounts for goodwill when it buys another company. It does not get to put its own goodwill on the books. The market might think that it's just the most awesome thing ever to go with awesomesauce, but it won't make a bit of difference to its accounts. However, if it buys the company that has been declared Teh Awesome, then it has to account for it. Because it had to pay for Teh Awesome, oh yes it had to pay.
I suppose Goodwill looks more professional in the Annual Report.
They save the Booyahs for the explanatory notes.

So the goodwill in the report represents goodwill we acquired from another company that we bought.

Precisely! (The only reason even this goodwill appears in the books is because of the difference between the purchase price and the value on the purchased company's books. Really it's all just a little embarrassing.)
