Fact - The expression getting someone’s goat is based on the custom of keeping a goat in the stable with a racehorse as the horse’s companion. The goat becomes a settling influence on the thoroughbred. If you owned a competing horse and were not above some dirty business, you could steal your rival’s goat to upset the other horse and make it run a poor race. From goats and horses it was linguistically extended to people: in order to upset someone, get their goat.

Always enjoyed seeing Tony hanging out with Pie-O-My and Pie’s goat. I guess it was pretty cool when he choked out Ralph as well. Ralph shoulda been whacked when he killed the girl he knocked up at the Bing.
