Av a Gander

Gan·der n. – A male goose. Informal – A look or glance: “Everyone turns and takes a gander at the yokels” (Garrison Keillor). The word goose (plural: geese) is the English name for a considerable number of birds, belonging to the family Anatidae. This family also includes swans, most of which are larger than true geese, and ducks, which are smaller. The term goose applies to the female in particular while gander applies to the male in particular. Young birds before fledging are called goslings. A group of geese on the ground is called a gaggle; when geese fly in formation, they are called a wedge or a skein.
