goosed
- 1Simple past and past participle of goose.
He goosed the throttle and the old engine roared back to life.
She was goosed by a stranger on the platform and yelped in surprise.
Note
A regular past form: one spelling serves both the simple past (he goosed the throttle) and the participle after have or be. Nearly every verb meaning is transitive slang: a pinch on the buttocks, a spur, a tap on the accelerator, hissing a performer offstage. So the passive comes easily, as in the act was goosed off the stage. The UK taxi-licensing use is the exception: there a driver goosed by picking up an unbooked fare.
