I might be able to tell you if I knew what "loosey goosey" meant! Not an expression known to me after more than 60 years of using British English as a native speaker.

Loosey Goosey The opposite of loose would be tight. Goose doesn't have an opposite so let's go with goo. If something isn't gooey it's hard. Tighty Hardy
