Found this in the dictionary (think it's derogatory, and take this at face value):

A verb, which means to grab someone between their butt cheeks and to squeeze, almost with an intent to hurt, although it is often done in a joking, playful manner between friends. The most common way to goose someone is with the fingers and thumb of one hand. The fingers grab from the bottom, and the thumb from the top. Then, in an upwards, and squeezing motion, you goose them. It is normally done while the "receiver" is wearing clothes, although there is no reason why it couldn't be done without clothes.

Female volunteers should send a personal message to...

Nah. Don't want to seem greedy about my behaviors.

Maybe some slang for being short circuited. As in a cooked goose. Goosed. Like heated. Aww fuhgettabowdit.

In a nut shell, it means no longer functions.

Ummm, well, I was shooting almost straight up at a flock of geese one evening when my camera and I both "got goosed". I'll leave the interpretation to your imagination but I will say I sure wish I'd been using a WR lens that day! Would'a been a lot easier to clean.

just to add to the knowlegebase... grabbing someones pants and lifting rapidly is a wedgie. Works best if you can just grab their underpants...

This is purely hearsay as I don't beat on l'il round things with a stick, but I'm told there's a "two-goose" handicap in golf. The handicapped player gets a "goose" early in the round and the second "goose" is reserved as a threat for a critical point later in the round. Apparently it has some affect on the final score.

SR is said to not overcome flinching in this particular case.
