What does Getting the goose bumps means?

Goosebumps, also known as piloerection or horripilation, refer to the small bumps that appear on the skin when a person feels intense emotions such as fear, excitement, or awe. These bumps are caused by the contraction of tiny muscles attached to the hair follicles, making the hairs stand up straight.

The phrase "getting the goosebumps" is used figuratively to describe the feeling of having goosebumps, which is often associated with chills or a sense of excitement or thrill in response to something. It can be a physical reaction to certain stimuli or a metaphorical expression for moments that evoke strong emotions.
