“According to Mr Peryer, it is not uncommon for geese to be bisexual, though he adds that the duo were the only pair in the Waikanae Estuary…It is also not unheard of for geese to mate with swans, with the offspring…known as a swoose.”

Haha, did you get to ‘swoose’ and go, “I got to send this out”?
That definitely cemented it.
The actress Swoosie Kurtz "got her first name 'Swoosie' (which rhymes with Lucy, rather than woozy) from her father. It is derived from the B-17D Flying Fortress bomber which her father piloted during World War II, which was named 'The Swoose' (half swan, half goose)." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swoosie_Kurtz
