...a sense of horripilation, his hair prickling along his scalp... - Malcolm Lowry, October Ferry to Gabriola
And yet, when you think of the bumps on the cold, plucked skin of a dressed goose, it's maybe a little less sweet.Goose sure is tasty, though.
Completely hideous word for goosebumps. Goosebumps is so much sweeter. Although now I think about it...a bumping goose? Wtf?
The bristling of the body hair, as from fear or cold; goose bumps.(Late Latin horripilti, horripiltin, to bristle with hairs : horrre, to tremble + pilre, to grow hair (from pilus, hair).)
