: I have been asked by friend to find the source and meaning of this. If someone who know will be kind enough to mail it to me it would be much appreicated.
: Thank you

It's probably "Jeez, Louise!"--"Jeez" being short for "Jesus" and "Louise" being simply a name that rhymes with that. Nothing to do with geese; just a form of mild swearing.
