: : Hey guys. Where does "shes as loose as a goose come from?" I think its derogatory?
: Goose poo is loose. I am guessing that is the origin of "loose as a goose." I am not sure if the sentence is derogatory. It depends on whether "loose" means relaxed or that her morals are loose.
Possibly from the flexibility of a goose's neck? The rhyme helps, too.
Goose poo I've seen didn't look particularly loose.
