What does GOOSE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A large web-footed bird related to swans and ducks, known for its long neck and loud honking call, kept both wild and domesticated.
A goose is larger than most ducks and has a longer neck, and both wild and domestic geese are known for the loud honking sound they make and for their tendency to hiss and act aggressively when they feel threatened. Farmers have kept the goose for centuries for its meat, eggs, and down feathers, while wild geese are also well known for migrating long distances in a distinctive V-shaped flying formation. The plural of goose is geese, one of English's irregular plural forms.
