the bird that fears no man, dog, or moving vehicle and somehow always wins
means A large web-footed waterbird with a long neck, known for honking loudly and behaving aggressively toward anything that approaches.
from From Old English 'gōs', tracing back to a Proto-Germanic root (compare German 'Gans' and Dutch 'gans'). It belongs to an ancient word-family stretching across Indo-European languages — Latin 'anser', Greek 'khēn', Sanskrit 'haṃsa' — many of which are thought to echo the bird's own honking call. The plural 'geese' preserves an old quirk of Germanic vowel-shifting (the same pattern that gives us 'foot/feet' and 'tooth/teeth'), where the vowel changed inside the word instead of adding an ending.
