A wild goose chase is a “hopeless pursuit or foolish search after something that is in fact, pointless or unattainable. A wild goose chase is a frustrating enterprise that usually involves wasting a large amount of time.”
Some might argue that getting a flock of wild Canada geese to fly south by “chasing” a small plane to a sanctuary in North Carolina might be a #WildGooseChase but the 1996 movie was inspired by a true story. 🪿

The chase wasn't foolish or hopeless in this case, but it sure was wild 😂
#WildGooseChase #IdiomInsight @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs According to Goodreads, Chase of the Wild Goose is the forgotten lesbian novel of the interwar era - an amiable companion to Woolf's time-travelling Orlando and joyful antidote to the misery of The Well of Loneliness. A historical fiction published in 1936 that celebrates the search and psychic need for lesbian foremothers, and delights in finding them.
