“Give the golden goose a gander” legitimately sounds like a real expression, I love it.

[@nicknormousreports3378]

I say it all the time

[@heatherwhiting9273]

So does “The boat on the bayou floats right by you”. Sounds like a legit phrase!

I wonder though... if it means give the golden goose a look... or a mate?

We all started cracking up because we were hanging out with cheistin wig the whole time and didnt have a clue.
