Noun. 1. goose skin-reflex erection of hairs of the skin in response to cold or emotional stress or skin irritation. goose bump, goose pimple, goosebump, gooseflesh, horripilation, pilomotor reflex.
The nerve discharge causes contraction of little muscles called the arrectores pilorum (the hair erector muscles). Contraction of these muscles elevates the hair follicles above the rest of the skin. And it is these tiny elevations we perceive as goose bumps. The words used to describe this condition are curious and colorful. Goose bumps are listed in the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary (as two words in the plural). The term entered English in 1933 to indicate a roughness of the skin produced by erection of its papillae esp. from cold, fear, or a sudden feeling of excitement..
