It’s a little nod to Wayne’s World, but instead of ‘party time, excellent’ (if you are aware of the cult nineties classic) I will be diving into one WORD each day. It could be something I learned, something bizarre that happened, a favourite word that I have rediscovered or just a thought that won’t leave me alone.
If you’re joining in on today’s word, feel free to use this tag to connect your post to the series: #WaynesWord
Today’s word is GAGGLE.
One of my favourite sounding words and if you say it over and over again, it just keeps getting better and better, funnier and funnier.
When we lived in Hillsborough, Northern Ireland, we were living beside a forest park that was home to many, many geese. So I often thought of “a gaggle of geese” – LOVE IT!!!

My husband and I use gaggle all the time. Normally when referring to a group of preteen kids. 😆

I love the word gaggle, Wayne. We have lots of Canada Geese/goose here each year at this time. Some have great personality…like you noted…and a bit of ‘tude.. Thanks for the great photos!

Thanks Suzette! I’m glad you knew what I meant with the ‘tude haha. I love a goose but a gaggle of them is even better.

Yeah, a gaggle of geese is a great collective but only if they’re on the ground. If those same geese were flying overhead, you’d call them a flock or a skein instead. Gaggle is also useful for describing a disorderly or chaotic group of people: “I was surrounded by a gaggle of three-year-olds eager to pet my puppy.” The term is derived from the Middle English term “gagel,” echoing the cacophonous honking of geese.

I does sound like geese honking actually. Thanks for the info Sheree, somehow that makes sense that they would only be a gaggle on the ground. I have heard it used for people too and I think that describes them well if they’re disorderly or an annoying gaggle of teenagers.
