If you are 50-60 you are a young geezer. 61-71 makes you a middle age geezer. Anything over 71 makes you a old geezer. If you are under 50 , but have the proper attitude you may be a future geezer. A want-to-be geezer , or a wheezer. [:D][:D][:D]

I have to publish a correction, Steve. By definition, a "wheezer" is a whinning geezer. (from the OED - Obscure Euphemistic Dictionary). A want-to-be-geezer is casually mentioned as a "wannageez", since, of course, the term 'geezer' is derived from the verb 'to geez' which has yet to find an entirely adequate, and certainly not concise, definition. It is somehow linked to another ill defined term called "old school." One Heinleinian cynic as tried to define "geez" as 'to look upon youth as a period of intense physical energy and mental effort with neither a organized end nor any semblance of discernible intelligence.'

Thank you Rev, I stand duly corrected. So do you think we should establish such a on going thread?




RevRick -> RE: WitP Brainiacs (10/10/2008 3:07:15 PM)

That's a possibility. We could entitle it "Geezers of the Bored, United!" but that might seem a tad militaristic. Or, maybe the "Geezing Hall of Fame" (or Shame, as the case may be) and talk about our best moments geezing, or may be how we got started. But, perhaps the best would be to employ 'guerilla geezing,' and just lurk about searching for some youthful frivolity and enthusiasm, and then do a hit and run geez attack.

I am happy to report that the geezer thread has been launched! Have at it gentlemen! (And you too T. And Nik. And Bobo).[:D][:D][:D]
