Perhaps it doesn't like the term "Goose".

As a noun its fine but as a verb (at least here in Aust) its not that flash.

To be honest I'm not sure what its supposed to mean in relation to
network speed but I'll leave that be.

[With relation to speed, "goose" (at least in this part of the world) means "to speed up." Sounds like I should probably change that before the TidBITS issue goes out. -Adam]

Hey! Watch your language on this list!

You could have simply said "The 'G' Word".

But the origins of that meaning come from the result of applying an in general cylindrical object to the trailing portion of a person's or animal's anatomy.

But one should also consider how goose and geese are feeded : by
inserting a tube (more exactly a funnel) through the mouth and
straight through into the stomach, to forcefeed the animal and thus
produce goose liver, that tasteful and delicious mass of fat (fat
gives meat it's taste…); fortunately a not so bad type of fat. Goose
fat is considered a good fat and yields superb French fries, or any
type of fries!

Perhaps the meaning is there, historically I mean.

When I was growing up in a mostly rural area, goose meant the application of an object to someone's rear area. It had nothing to do with force feeding a bird to make pate'. We didn't even know what that was.

I had trouble receiving email communications from SmallDog.com about a year ago. After several days of frustration, I discovered that their motto (Small Dog Electronics - An Apple Specialist) was catching in my Apple Mail filters. One of the filters was set to automatically trash spam containing the word "Cialis", the erectile dysfunction drug. It turns out that "specialist" contains "cialis."

A while back there was a site named ResExcellence. It was consistently blocked for some users because of the sEx part of the name.
