The new "would-be-lover" of my Stormy just challenged me for a duel... Reminds me of my days as a soldier (at the taverns behind the battlefront...)
I wonder if he also gets goose pimps facing a certain death....
as a reputedEnglish lexicographer myself, I must weigh inthis discussion and givecredit to my dear and enlightened friend Dr Pekel. His expression "Goose pimps" is obviously a grammatically authorized (by miltary use) contraction of 'Goose pimples', equivalent to 'Goose bumps' according to the Oxford Dictionary.
Come on, Pekel, keep your head up high, the grammarians are on your side!

Despite the linguistics discussions, that duck seems determinated to kill someone... Warn him that if he don't behaves, on christmas he will replace the turkey!

What's good for the goose is good for the pimp ... err, I mean, the gander ^^
Errhhhmmm errhhmmm... First of all i wanna thank Myron for his most appreciated intervention in this linguistic matter... It seems that or a. my keyboard failed again and the "le" between "pimp" and "s" was not properly produced on the virtual paper... Orrrrrrr b. my knowledge of English is a bit clumsy...(don't forget, my first language is Flemish or Aaaaantwaaaaareps)
To be correct: Goose bumps, also called goose flesh, goose pimples, chill bumps, chicken skin, funky spots, Dasler Bumps or the medical term cutis anserina, are the bumps on a person's skin at the base of body hair which may involuntarily develop when a person is cold or experiences strong emotions such as fear, awe, admiration or sexual arousal.

The question remains: Who pimped that goose?

The Panaceks are true entrepreneurs... pimping out their geese.... I think we should send the Dr. some feather boas and a big floppy purple hat
