No, I always said goose pimples, but after years of teaching little kiddies, who used goose bumps so often, I now use one or the other without thinking which one to use.

I was counting on you to be a rock solid pimples girl

There's no room for fence sitters, this is the most crucial issue facing the modern world sincewhich way round you put the bog roll on.

I thought the most crucial issue was ketchup or mayonnaise - I'm obviously missing out on things here in Adelaide

I would use goose bumps, however I have heard a third option, some people use goose 'flesh'.

You're all wrong with the possible exception of The Beav. It's goose flesh.

Pimples is an unpleasant word but in my opinion is the correct one in this case.

Goose flesh is I suppose quite apt though as it is a creepy phrase to describe a rather creepy sensation.

It's bumps.

Anyone who says different is a freak and should be ostracised.
