Here is another one for all you word experts ! Swooping incidents fall into
insignificance compared with a real attack by an angry domestic gander. As a
small child in Northumberland I unwittingly entered the driveway of a nearby
dairy farm to be confronted by a gaggle of geese honking and hissing in a most
threatening manner. At this tender age nobody had told me to stare them down,
hold my ground so I turned and ran as fast as my little legs could carry me. A
bad mistake as the fearsome gander easily caught up with me, latching on
several times to my plump little bottom. A very painful experience., long to be
remembered, and as you will have guessed the meaning of the word.
