The term "goose eggs" is a colloquial expression that refers to the number zero, particularly in the context of sports or scoring. When a team or player ends a game or a period of play without scoring any points, it is often said that they have "goose eggs" on the scoreboard. This term likely originates from the shape of a goose egg, which resembles the numeral zero.
