A term for a goose or waterfowl, or poultry in general; an old or humorous compound.
Compound of 'gander' (male goose) and 'goose' (female goose), creating a redundant or emphatic term for the bird itself. Appears in historical texts and regional dialects.
Creating a compound by smooshing together the male and female names for the same animal is hilariously redundant—it's like English speakers saying 'cowbull' or 'hen-rooster,' which tells you something about how people talk!
