The idiom "goose egg" as a slang term for zero or a score of zero in a sporting context, particularly in baseball, is believed to have originated in the 1860s in the United States. The round shape of a goose egg resembles the number zero, which led to its use in this context. This phrase is used informally to refer to the number zero, especially in the context of sports scores or tallies.
