naomi 343 Posted May 21, 2007 mindless crap origins says "Geese were important in the life of medieval Britain, so important that goose herds spent their lives tending to flocks. Many owners plucked their geese five times a year, leaving them totally naked until new feathers grew. When cold air hit such a bird, tiny muscled just under the skin would contract and create patterns of pimples. These patterns resembled the same bumps that people would sometimes get, and the name stuck." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
