Which is the correct phrase
 
Wouldn't say boo to a goose, or wouldn't say boo to a ghost?
 
Heard ghost for the first time, I suppose it would make more sense than saying boo to a goose.

When people say 'light years away' when they are talking about weeks, months or years.
 
Light years is a measure of distance, not time.
