Question for those in the UK
 

WTF is a "geezer"?

I am listening to a great band called "The Streets" and he uses the term geezer in every song.

Can you explain this to a clueless Canadian?

geezer is an old person is it not?

Nope it means bloke. Otherwise known as a man. :) Geezer is a term often used by Londoners.

:1orglaugh

What a great word that is

A geezer is pretty much an older guy who is kinda odd

(and I may live in Canada, but I was born and raised in England :winkwink: )

ahaha, im an english boy myself. A geezer is anyone who fancies them self as a bit of a jack-the-lad. Someone who is popular, always socialising, dodgy deals etc.

This explanation is correct, all others above are not accurate.

bullshit. A bloke is a man, a geezer is a type of person. Prince William is a bloke, he is not a geezer.

a Geezer is a random man that you do not know and are in no fit state to call him or insult him :)
like me calling TexasDreams a Geezer would be an example :winkwink:

Wow I have started a big debate and I am still in the dark lol

same as a guy

never heard of it

Well all UK people said the same thing. Only Canadians thought it referred to an old man.

'dude' with less respect


North Americans use it like 'old geezer'.

on the east coast in the usa geezer = old man and skeezer = coke slut

Here it is in context.

"On the streets I'm just a geezer, gotta make ends meet yeah"
"Geezers need excitement"

the streets are great :D i love they too :D

trust those of us in the UK...it means bloke/dude ..not a top guy but a guy

Its all of the above. Perhaps in times gone by it would have referred to an elder guy usually of the working classes. Nowadays its a more generic term for a man usually used by the working classes ;) Except now with the younger generation it also means a guy that is a bit of a jack the lad. So in essence all of the above were correct, you just need to find the context which I suspect is the third example in this instance.

Never heard of this old bloke definition before, but this ones about right these days - a boy about town, connected, a chancer, scammer.

I don't get the hype over Lilly Allen but I have always said her dad is a guy I don't want to meet in a dark alley.

I wouldn't want that sour cock anywhere. All he does is spout negative bile.
