Wild goose chase

Rated Jul 09 2007 • 1 review • shakespeare, words, language • phrases.org.uk

Wild goose chase
"This phrase is old and appears to be one of the many phrases introduced to the language
by Shakespeare. The first recorded citation is from Romeo and Juliet, 1592:

Romeo: Switch and spurs, switch and spurs; or I'll cry a match.

Mercutio: Nay, if thy wits run the wild-goose chase, I have done, for thou hast
more of the wild-goose in one of thy wits than, I am sure, I have in my whole
five.

"...A 'wild goose chase' was a chase in which horses followed a lead horse at a set distance, mimicking wild geese flying in formation. The equine connection was referred to in another early citation, just ten years after Shakespeare - Nicholas Breton's The Mother's Blessing, 1602:

"Esteeme a horse, according to his pace, But loose no wagers on a wilde goose chase."

"That meaning had been lost by the 19th century. In Grose's Diction-
ary of the Vulgar Tongue, 1811, he defines the term much the way we do today..."
