Boiled Goose is a slang term that refers to a situation where someones plans or expectations are ruined or foiled. This term is derived from the idea of cooking a goose, but instead of roasting it to perfection, it is boiled, resulting in a disappointing outcome.

Boiled Goose can be used to describe a situation where something doesn’t go as planned, or when someone’s hopes are dashed. It implies a sense of disappointment, frustration, or even a feeling of being tricked or fooled.

Example 1: I was really excited to go on vacation, but when I arrived at the airport, I realized I had forgotten my passport. It was a total boiled goose moment.
Example 2: He spent hours preparing for his job interview, rehearsing answers and ironing his clothes, only to find out it had been canceled without any notice. It was such a boiled goose.
