Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is “(your) goose is cooked“ and its meaning is “it means that (your) plans have been ruined and that (you) are in trouble”.
Example Sentence: Though this government may have inherited the sluggish private investment, it must reflect upon whether its own actions may have adversely affected the investment climate. Could the significant step-up in raids by the Enforcement Directorate and the Income Tax Department have had a chilling effect? Could the unreasonable stringency that governs the financial transactions of even not-for-profit organisations have stifled the legitimate economic activity that they give rise to? Could it be that the economy’s goose is being cooked by a surveillance state?
