Slipped the goose

"Slip the goose" means almost anything depending on context. It is the perfect expression because it invokes a strong visual, and yet it's vague enough that it resonates in a wide variety of situations with various meanings. Depending on how you say it and with what other combinations of words the meaning can mean someone did awesome, someone did badly, someone messed up, someone got confused, someone did something really tiring, or someone blew off work or other obligations, or even someone avoided a problem or tragedy.
Good - Hell yeah, man! You slipped the goose big time! Oh dang, you're lucky you slipped the goose.

Bad - Damn, you really slipped the goose. I don't know man, I slipped the goose earlier and not feeling it. The hell man, you slipped the Goose

blue slip

Blue Slip: You see, folks, it's corporate jargon for when your job's on the rocks but hasn't quite hit the unemployment iceberg yet. It's like telling your significant other, 'We're on a break,' but you're still sharing the same bed. You'll be at the office, but it's more like a bad one-night stand you can't escape. In the grand comedy of life, the blue slip is that awkward punchline that leaves you wondering, 'Is this a joke, or am I the punchline?'"

"Blue Slip: It's like when your boss wants to break up with you, but they're not ready to commit to the 'we're over' text just yet. It's the awkward in-between, where you're still on the company payroll, but your desk chair suddenly feels a lot colder. You'll be attending meetings, but it's more like a support group for the soon-to-be jobless. Remember, a blue slip is just a pink slip in denial, and your career's on life support!"

Blue Slip, man, you know what I'm sayin'? It's like when your boss hands you that blue piece of paper, and you're sittin' there goin', 'Hold up, am I still employed, or am I in a time-out?' It's that limbo between job security and job insecurity, Joe Rogan. You're showin' up to work, but it's like a sitcom where you're the only one not laughin', and the boss is the straight-faced villain. Blue slip, it's the corporate version of 'I'm not mad, just disappointed,' bro."
Example 1:
**David**: "Mike, can we chat for a moment?"
**Mike**: "Sure, boss, what's up?"
**David**: "Well, Mike, I've been noticing some performance issues lately. So, consider this your blue slip. You're not fired yet, but you've got some work to do."
**Mike**: "Got it, David. I'll step up my game."

Example 2:
**David**: "Hey, Mike, got a minute?"
**Mike**: "Yeah, what's on your mind, boss?"
**David**: "Look, Mike, your recent slip-ups haven't gone unnoticed. This is your blue slip - a warning shot across the bow. Get it together, or that pink slip won't be far behind."
**Mike**: "I appreciate the heads up, David. I'll make the necessary changes."
