Get Your Goat …. In a GOOD way!

Has someone gotten your goat lately? Ā Where does that saying come from anyway?

Phrase FinderĀ believes that the saying is an American term dating back to the 1900’sĀ and sticks by the ā€œcommonly repeated story which purports to explain the phrase’s origin is that goats were placed with racehorses to keep them calm. When ne’er-do-wells who wanted the horse to race badly removed it, i.e. they ā€˜got someone’s goat’, the horse became unsettled and ran badly.ā€

Ye Olde English SayingsĀ theorizes that the origins of ā€œgetting your goatā€ isĀ reference to ā€œan old English belief that puttingĀ a goat in the barn would have a calming effect on the cows, hence producing more milk. When one wanted to antagonize/terrorize one’s enemy, you would abscond with their goat rendering their milk cows less- to non-productive.ā€

Either way, the common beliefĀ is ā€œgoats areĀ the great calmers of nature.ā€

I just think they are cute. šŸ˜‰
