goose eggs
Big fat nothing
Goose eggs are the literal eggs of geese—larger than chicken eggs, prized in some cuisines.
The phrase more commonly means zeros, from the egg's oval resemblance to the numeral: The team put up goose eggs in three straight innings.
A goose egg is also a bump on the head, typically from impact: He got a goose egg on his forehead from walking into the door.
