Geezer sayings to consider


'THE BEAUTIFUL LANGUAGE'
'Morning Sunshine'
'Hows your mother'
'You Got yourself a Doris yet'
'orrible cunt'
'slag'
'mug'
'poof'
'I twatted him'
'Bruv'
'That tune is sick'
'i'm wasted'
'Hello Darling'
'How do you like them apples'
'Oi'
'Babe'
'Have a fuckin' geez'

Language is a very important element of the 'Geezer'. It's not so much the words that they use, it's more the pronounciation's of words. Adaption of normal sayings into a whole new dialect, giving a whole new meaning to certain words such as 'mug'. A kitchen essential that we all need for tea and coffee, becomes an aggressive term to decribe somebody you feel animosity towards. 'Chanting is also a key past time of the geezer. Football is intrinsically linked with the geezer, and there is no better way to show passion for your favourite team than to learn a chant off by heart. A great example of this is 'forever blowing bubbles' which West Ham fans chat at matches and on the streets pre and post match.


To really understand the geezer you must be able to speak like one, and being around football fans is key to grasping this beautiful lingo.
