2. Have never heard it, but...
1. shit through a goose



Something that really gets into motion
very quickly or is lightening fast.ie
like shit through a goose.

His new set of wheels goes like like
shit through a goose.

Get the hell out of here or I'll call
security and you'll be out of here faster than shit through a goose!
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=shit+through+a+goose

However!

This supposedly originated from Gen. Patton:

"I don't want to get any messages saying, "I am holding my position." We are not holding a Goddamned thing. Let the Germans do that. We are advancing constantly and we are not interested in holding onto anything, except the enemy's balls. We are going to twist his balls and kick the living shit out of him all of the time. Our basic plan of operation is to advance and to keep on advancing regardless of whether we have to go over, under, or through the enemy. We are going to go through him like crap through a goose; like shit through a tin horn!"

3. Have you ever been around geese?
The eat, and minutes later they're shitting horrid toxic waste. "Like shit through a goose" means it happens (whatever it is) very quickly, going from here to there without apparently stopping anyplace in between.

btw: There are very few substances as toxic as goose shit. If you have too many of the horrid shit machines around a small pond they'll quickly kill all life in that pond. x(

5. While I've met geese, they share the neighbourhood,
I wouldn't exactly call it an intimate friendship. We don't log each others shitting habits.

6. Missouri folklore has a few Ozark expressions
I'd forgotten about a lot of these...

http://missourifolkloresociety.truman.edu/expressions.html

Slick as grass through a goose

useful (useless) as breasts on a boar hawg

scarce as hen's teeth

..just like tryin' to push a rope...

There's more hams on a hog than you think there are.

That dog won't hunt

Finer than a frog's hair split three ways.

He's crookeder than a dog's back leg.

It's so good it'll make you slap your granny

She's meaner than Moody's goose.

He's dumb as a stump (or dumb as a fence post).

It's hotter than 400 hells.

So nervous he couldn't find his ass with both hands and a road map.

Empty wagons rattle (somebody who talks a lot without saying anything)

about as much as a tomcat needs a marriage license

"The rooster crows, but the hen lays the egg."

a room so small "you couldn't yell at a cat without getting a mouthful of fur."

Something totally out of place is sometimes described as "like socks on a rooster."

On a female who has made a bad marriage: She sure drove her ducks to a bad market.

"hotter than hell stewed down to a half-pint

it'll "last about as long as Pat was in the Army

(lazy person's name) wouldn't work in a pie factory. "

Hotter than two-forty Hell / six shades of Hell. "

Shit fire, and call the Captain!

"Getting money out of me right now would be like trying to shove butter up a wildcat's ass with a hot poker.

How about "Is a frog's ass watertight?

"Jest like squirrels, the woods is full of them"...

Better than snuff and not near as dusty "

On being drunk, he was plumb knee walking! "

she's tougher than woodpecker lips?

Does a fat baby fart! ........as in "of course"

Slicker then Owl shit

hot as a witch's tit in a brass bra

make like horse shit and hit the trail

more useless then a one legged man in an ass kicking contest

faster then a deacon in a whorehouse

sharper then an old maid's tongue

he's so tight he squeaks when he walks.

"So good it would make a rabbit spit in a bulldog's eye."

"You sound like a hog in a coal pile."

"You've rode that wagon till the wheels have fallen off!"

"squeeze a nickel 'til the buffalo shit"

so far up the holler, they have to pipe the sunlight in.

12. As you have heard, geese shit fast and furiously, but...
there is a reason for this.

They are big and require a lot of energy to fly, particularly when migrating. Food slowly digesting in their bellies is just weight, not energy, so they eat vast amounts as soon as they land and "process" it fast.

Back in Joisey, many geese decided not to migrate at all and stayed there all year-- making far more of a mess than migrating geese who just hung out for a day or two. Since they happily dine on grass, local schoolyards and corporate parks were favorite spots to hang, and the messes were unbelievable.

During high school ball games, "sliding into second" took on a whole new meaning.

17. "Like shit through a goose" is similar to "Like Oprah after a roast" or "Like Paris after a cock"
It just means really fast.

Shit Goose (n) - One who comes to a party without liquor, or anything else to share with the population at large. Also notorious for drinking too much and getting sick in all the wrong places (your parent's bedroom).
