What does Goose mean?
/ɡus/

Goose is the common English word for the large, honking waterfowl of the family Anatidae, from the Old English gōs, a word with ancient roots shared across many Indo-European languages. The bird's reputation for being loud, bold, and a little ridiculous has made "goose" a familiar term of affectionate teasing.

Goose has a comic, lovable quality — a name for a pet who's a bit of a clown, all confidence and no self-awareness, in the best way.
