HE’S GETTING ON MY GOAT

HE’S GETTING ON MY GOAT



Yes, he's getting on my goat!

Getting on someone’s goat means someone is annoyed or angry at something. The origins of the phrase are a little unclear. Most accounts trace it to America and possibly to -racing in America. It is claimed, though not verified, that goats were placed in the stalls of highly-strung thoroughbred horses the night before a race to keep the horses calm. Sometimes the calming goat was stolen leaving an agitated ; hence the phrase ‘got my goat’.

Many people got on my goat today. First, there were people carrying rucksacks on a bus, seemingly oblivious to me behind them as they shuffled around the bus while swinging their rucksacks into me. I think they should pay a double fare. Second, there were people holding umbrellas in the rain, seemingly oblivious to me walking past them trying to avoid being spiked in the eye. I think umbrella-wielding pedestrians should pay an umbrella tax or, at least, be made to pass a test before being allowed to possess an umbrella. Third, there were several groups of people chatting and walking very slowly, preventing me passing when I was in a hurry to lead my life. I think slow walkers should pay a tax for the privilege.

Yes, I had a bad day today and I’m unreasonable! I’m going to order a curry to be delivered tonight as a treat to myself, though if the curry deliverer says 'enjoy' as they hand me the curry, that'll get on my goat! And, if Affairlook ban this post for showing goats having sex, that'll get on my goat as well!

What gets on your goat?
What has pissed you off recently?

    Quoting AmeliaCox:
    People who are inept at their jobs get on my goat, people who can't spell get on my goat, people who can't read get on my goat, people who don't think get on my goat, people who make assumptions get on my goat, people who don't mean what they say or say what they mean get on my goat and people who just bail on an email conversation or a text conversation without having the good grace to sign off to indicate that the conversation has ended for now get on my goat plus several dozen other things...

    My glasses sliding down my nose and cutting off my breathing so I have had to open my mouth to breath only to have my hair forelocks invade my mouth has pissed me off a lot, lately... Haircut imminent. Can dispense with the glasses after cataract surgery in a few months time.

    The goats in your picture aren't fucking... Obviously that's the intent of the one at the back but his cock has to travel about another foot forward before he docks...
You're right the goats aren't fucking until he docks his cock!

Get on my nerves is a more popular expression than get on my goat in the UK as well.

I've not heard that. If I grow a beard and dip it in pee, will I attract women?

    Quoting AmeliaCox:
    I'm more inclined towards the expressions 'pisses me off' or 'gives me the shits'... Lol
Pisses me off is a very common phrase in the UK. Gives me the shits is less common; if someone said that to me, I think they are desperate for the toilet!
