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.
