get (one's) ducks in a row
expression
- To ensure all the small details or elements are accounted for and in their proper order before embarking on a new project. Good attorneys, for example, make sure all of the evidence and witnesses are presented in a precise, effective order, like ducklings following the mother duck in a straight line when in water, or the natural flight formation used by ducks as they fly through the sky in a V-formation behind the leader, allowing each duck to take advantage of reduced wind resistance.
I like working with you because you always have your ducks in a row before we start.

get (one's) goat
- The Great Northern Railway (now a part of the BNSF Railroad) constructed a tunnel in the Cascades mountains in Washington in the early 1900s. The railroad set up construction camps at various locations along the line. Each camp had an adminstrative building with the Great Northern flag displayed out front. The logo for the GN railroad was the mountain goat, which was used in advertising, painted on freight and passenger cars, etc. In time, there developed competition between the camps for the best performance - most miles of track laid, bridges built, etc. From time to time, one camp would raid another and take their flag, which of course upset the camp that lost its flag with the goat logo. Thus the phrase "get my goat."
The above explanation was sourced from the archives of the Great Northern Railway Historical Society.

origin
- "Get (one's) goat" began as American prison slang, which in turn came from an off-color joke. The joke: Men stranded on a desert island find a herd of goats. Being starved for love, they have sex with the female goats. This goes on day after day until one day a fight breaks out between two men. When asked to explain, one man points at the other and shouts angrily, "He's got my goat!" That's how the expression began.
