On our Christmas vacation drive to Ohio, J made a reference to the homonymy between ganz and Gans, whereupon we developed Gans into a unit for measuring the intensity of things, mostly emotions. So, for example:
A: "Bist du sauer auf mich?"
J: "Ja, ganz sauer."
A: "Also, eine Gans sauer, ja?"
J: "Eigentlich ganz, ganz sauer."
A: "Also zwei Gänse sauer?"
