I am damned well sure I could take one (would get battered, but I’d come out on top, just need to get it by the neck once)

The problem is those fuckers live in flocks

This is why you have to run when you find a goose among your ducks.

I thought up Goose as a superhero for a street level setting, essentially she’s a tough scrapper, easy to underestimate, and is really good at blending into crowds or workstaff. Mistique without the mutant shapechangey stuff.

I got bitten by a goose once as a kid. I fear them since then, so they really are a force to be reconned with.

i think this would probably explain the phrase “silly goose”

I imagine the whole point is to say that someone is “sillier than a goose” famously known for, not being silly at all. Arguing that you are so silly, that you look like a goose being silly.
