2019年3月29日 · I thought it was a clarifier; most geese are known to present aggressively, so you're referencing an anomaly. In this case, calling one a 'silly goose' would extrapolate to, "You're unusual, possibly judgementally-impaired, but not in a way I find detrimental to anyone but yourself so I'll make an light-hearted offhand comment, rather than a direct and serious criticism

Growing up I was often called a "silly goose" by parents, teachers, etc in the light-hearted way. My impression at that tender age was that it was a term of endearment. So one day I called my grandmother a "silly goose" and boy did she scold me and she gave me a time-out. She felt it was very disrespectful. Since my grandmother was also from ...

2018年5月11日 · The phrase “silly goose” was invented in the 1950s to describe someone who believed something that was obviously incorrect. This meaning originated because people in that era did not believe in geese, and so when someone claimed to see a goose they were stoned to death while the town chanted “silly goose.”

Very goofy in the bad way. If you're trying to be flirtatious, then it is going to come off very very strange. If you're responding "You're such a silly goose." in an ironic joking way, then it's odd that you need to ask other people if it's okay before you say it.
