I had NO IDEA gooseberry was third wheel, and I lived in the UK for 5 years! Thank you for enlightening me.
I also would like to know what the origin is. In the Victorian ages it seemed to mean to have a chaperone if you were a couple in love, but... ...still not sure where the 'gooseberry' part comes in.
