In the UK, they call a man of ANY age a geezer.
Just learned this. In the US, geezers are just really old men 🤷♀️😂

I could be a geezer... Now!
You might not be geezer enough for the states yet, but in the UK, you always have been one
100% correct my friend 😂
I was watching a British show and this guy kept calling his young friend a geezer and I couldn’t figure it out 😂
I beg to differ
Pardon?
A geezer is generally a cheeky bloke, not usually younger. It actually varies from region to region.
*Arsenal fan🙏🏻.
I have tried to summerise "Geezer" for nostr:npub1ymt2j3n8tesrlr0yhaheem6yyqmmwrr7actslurw6annls6vnrcslapxnz in in earlier reply. I hope you concur🙏🏻.
Whoops, well based on my context clues I got it semi right. It still doesn’t really mean anything age related when yall use it correct? I don’t 100% get the word cheeky yet like is there an American equivalent? To me, it’s like having attitude
OK, geezer can mean exactly what you yanks think, an old bloke or old geezer. Let's face it, you probably got it from here in the first place but it is also used a way of telling you that man is a cheeky chapie. He's OK but he will duck and dive, wheel and deal...
Nope. I was watching a UK reality show and never heard it used like that so I came here since I know a few of you
Semi is from Ireland, he's not "British" and certainly not "English", presumably as he's from Ireland and not Northern Ireland, as his name would suggest. I do however, appreciate that the word "Geezer" is used in Ireland, be it North or South and might have slightly different connotations. This is not in any way a political message if Semi is reading it, but a cultural one which I'm simply trying to educate nostr:npub1ymt2j3n8tesrlr0yhaheem6yyqmmwrr7actslurw6annls6vnrcslapxnz on🙏🏻.
One of many forms of the geezer 😂
The classic 90s model.
hmm 🤔, wonder what the term expresses.
I honestly think nothing. I think there it’s like calling a man “a dude”, but I’m guessing
In UK young men are old.
Ahem. This isn't strictly true. 'hole. I'm a "UK Geeeeezer", as you well know. The epithet geezer, is largely reserved, for older gentlemen, like myself. Further, "Geezer" is largely used in The South of the country, as opposed to "Up North". I hope this note helps further your understanding of the issue. Much love🫂.
- A UK "Geezer"🙏🏻🥳.
But yall don’t really use it according to age as much as we do right?
My AI thingy had the following to say...
A "geezer" is an informal British term for a man, often older, who may be considered odd or eccentric. In American slang, it typically refers to an older man and can carry a mildly negative connotation.
Always learning 🤷♂️😁
What about codgers, gaffers, and coots?
Nooooo idea yet
Gaffers are usually the boss of working people not really age related apart from the fact the people in charge tend to be older.
Codger I would say is old but I would say usually come as old codger, coot on its own just makes me think of a bird but 'old coot' is an old person. I am sure someone will disagree 🙃
Geezer status is elite where I come from
I’m learning that there is much to a UK geezer than I am unaware of still 😂
Why are you all so weird? 😂
