A gooseberry is a fruit that belongs to the same family as the currant. Gooseberries are small, round, and have a greenish-white color. The fruit is covered with a thin, papery skin. Gooseberries are native to Europe, Asia, and North America.

The gooseberry bush is a deciduous shrub that can grow up to six feet tall. The leaves are alternate, simple, and have serrated margins. The flowers are white and have five petals. The gooseberry fruit is borne on a stem that grows from the leaf axils. Each stem usually has two or three fruits.

Gooseberries are usually eaten raw, cooked, or made into jams and pies. The fruit is high in Vitamin C and antioxidants.

The expression "gooseberry", usually used in a sentence as "I felt like a gooseberry." is used to describe the feeling of one person being alone with a couple.

A gooseberry is a spiked berry of that would be uncomfortable when placed between two people trying to get close physically, therefore the expression "gooseberry" was used to describe the chaperone in a romantic outing between two people.

These days, owing to the lack of need for chaperones, the expression is used to describe the feeling of being the "third wheel".

Gooseberry is a fruit that geese make by eating berrys and then making them come out the other side. They the add a bit of dirt and water, and that makes gooseberry.
