If you've been watching promos for PBS's Antiques Road Show in Honolulu you've no doubt seen a woman at the end of the clip say "I've got gooseskin." This just amuses the heck out of those of us who live here. Local parlance uses the words "chicken skin" to describe the phenomenon of goosebumps; the lady is obviously flustered at being told her precious object is worth gazillions more than she thought and conflating the two.
We chuckle everytime we see it.
