   In Australian English a goog is an egg. It is an abbreviation of the British dialect word goggy ‘a child’s name for an egg’, retained in Scotland as goggie. The phrase is a variation of an earlier British phrase in the same sense: full as a tick, recorded from the late 17th century.
   Other Australian combinations include full as a boot, full as a Bourke Street tram, and full as a pommy complaint box. Full as a goog is recorded from the 1930s.
