Geese are the bullies of the bird world. They spend their days chasing jogger, leaving unwelcome surprises all over sidewalks, and acting like they own every pond, park, and golf course in America. Then they have the nerve to honk at you like YOU'RE the problem. A goose's only redeeming quality is that it's adorable when it's a baby. What do we call those troublemakers before they grow up?

Correct Answer: Gosling (Not Ryan)
(Source)Ryan Gosling probably got some good-natured ribbing as a kid for sharing a name with baby geese, but the joke's on everyone else since he turned out to be a movie star while actual goslings grow up to be those honking nuisances that guard every decent picnic spot. The word comes from Old English and just means "little goose." These fluffy yellow puffballs look like walking tennis balls with tiny beaks, completely innocent and sweet until they grow up to be ever Sunday joggers' nightmare.
