Etymology
Goosebumps comes from the old idea that the small raised spots on your skin look like the skin of a 'plucked' goose, because the hair stands up and makes little bumps. So when you are cold, scared, or excited and your skin does this, the name helps you remember that 'plucked goose' picture.
