Goose skin, a bodily reaction often brought on by emotion or temperature changes, can also be referred to as goose bumps, chicken skin, or goose pimples. The term goose bumps may be the most commonly used synonym, as it describes the raised bumps that resemble the skin of a plucked goose. Chicken skin, though less common, is also an appropriate descriptor as the raised bumps can resemble the texture of a skinned chicken. Lastly, goose pimples is another synonym that is less commonly used, but accurately describes the appearance of the raised bumps, which can resemble small pimples. Regardless of the term used, goose skin is a natural and common bodily reaction.
