goose pimples
Cold-induced skin texture
Goose pimples are the small bumps that form on skin when you're cold, frightened, or experiencing strong emotion.
The tiny muscles around hair follicles contract, making the skin look like a plucked goose.
Also called goose bumps or gooseflesh: The horror movie gave me goose pimples.
