ParticipantI often see guys here referring to a “machine being goosed?” ๐ฏ
Goosed????? :rolls: ๐ ๐
Never heard of it before other than on UKW but the mind boggles at what someone using that expression is trying to say?
The definition of that terminology is: –
Old school definition: to pinch someone’s buttocks, hopefully the opposite sex.
or…..
To apply pressure on one’s taint (or space between genitalia and anus), preferably of the opposite sex!
and even…….
to be hit upon/sexually harrassed by an unattractive male

I always assumed Goosed as a term meaning Defunct,not a phrase I use though
I suppose it could be open to regional interpretation though

Mancunian slang for broken. Can also mean tired.
โThe tires on my bike are goosedโโI was goosed after running a triathlonโ

Goosed is in very common usage around these parts, although I have to say that all our bikes have tyres on them. ๐ ( I do hate americanisms ) ๐ฟ ๐

Really? Perish the thought of squeezing buttocks in the greater Manchester area as the vernacular is best avoided by us down here in the south lest we generate the wrong type of interest. ๐

I use it alot, even with customers. My mum told me to stop saying it, because she thought it meant…
“Goosed” – to have something stuffed up yer bum ๐
ie. “I’ve just goosed that goose fer us goose-diner!”

I prefer the old Cockney rhyming slang, “It’s cream crackered”. I have to be careful what I say to my customers up here in darkest Banffshire. Once or twice I have told them “It’s done” and they have looked crestfallen. This is because the vernacular in these parts has the word “done” to mean unserviceable or beyond repair. Instead I have to say “That’s your machine sorted”.

KeymasterI won’t repeat the Glaswegian for being, err, broken.
You English are all so posh and polite! ๐

I think the Oxfordshire phrase is somewhere between the Cockney & the Glaswegian …….”cattled”
I am sure it is linked to the truck that transports cattle around the countryside being broken ๐

TF = Technically Faulty, but not really if you see what I mean.
