"I don't want to play goosberry."
Posted by abe on May 09, 2004
In one of the old 'Brit Coms' on TV a character says "I don't want to play gooseberry." when she is invited for a weekend trip to the country. She and a male friend were previously invited and the male friend had to cancel. Obviously she had some ambivalence but I did not understand beyond that.
