No, my memory seems to play tricks with me. I could have sworn that the
Swedish word "gåshud" (litt. "goose-skin") was idiomatically translated to
"duckskin", but both my dictionary and your reply prove me wrong. The only
explaination I have is I must have misunderstood some Disney cartoon pun.
Or did I confuse it with "like water off a duck's back"? The Swedish version
of that saying is: "like pouring water upon a goose".
...
I did mean goosebumps. :o)
...
And "duckskun" was left out of my dictonary, and no hits on Google either.
