Well, I think it’s quite plausible insofar as being logical is concerned. What’s your take?

Anyways, the important thing is to take care of your goat, if you have any. The goat stands for the thing that gives you peace and comfort, the thing that you hold close to heart. Losing it, therefore, makes you upset, annoyed and angry and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Now what’s this I hear? You don’t have a goat?

Well, that’s all the better for you. If you don’t have a goat, then it follows that nobody can have your goat, at least insofar as being logical is concerned.

Alright, here are media examples of getting someone’s goat:

1. WALES’ famous army goat has been thrown out of the Assembly for being a health hazard.

Staff banned Shenkin, the Royal Regiment of Wales’ mascot, when caterers refused to serve a buffet in his presence.

The move angered Tory AM David Davies who said the Assembly should be used to dealing with political animals.

“It’s really got my goat,” he fumed. “He’s being treated as a second-class celebrity in his own country.”

- Assembly ban’s got my goat, The Mirror, February 14, 2003.

2. If a little is good, then it follows that more must be better. Well, OK, maybe not all the time.

For example, this extreme couponing craze has really got my goat. (And until recently I didn't even know I had a goat.)
