Don't you mean a "geyser", which is another name for a natural spring?

isnt it just another name for a man or someone you know. some kind of london accent made up word things. along the same lines as bloke.

Tommy Walsh of Groundforce fame was introduced to me as a "diamond geezer" I reckon it means an ok amicable and friendly type of person. All these bastardisations of the English language can leave me feeling a little left out lol! For example my children often say "bad" which means good, "wicked" which is better than "bad" and a word they use to offer disaproval is "skank" which gets right up my nose as its used so frequently amongst the younger generation!

It's certainly not just a modern term ---I can remember the term 'geezer' being used when I was a kid --(and it didn't mean woofter) --it just meant a bloke

I reckon Ron is a Diamond Geezer anyway, and what he does in his private life is up to him. Some people burgle houses, some do the same to turds, I really don't think Ron is quite into that yet.

I think he is just a sad old bloke that requires a bit of a reaction to show he is still alive. If he doesn't get it, who knows what he will burgle ;)

On the whole I think his heart is in the right place. Well for him anyway. :)

What is "geezer"? A man who is kind,considerate has respect for others and values life as the most precious thing on earth.He likes to help others in any way he can.At present he is organising a charity event for his sick niece as she has 1 failed kidney and 1 that is 90% working and she is only 15 months old LIFE IS PRECIOUS.

He could be a 'right-on geezer'.

you can also have a 'real dodgy geezer' or a 'bit of an iffy geezer' or a 'hot water geezer'.
