the fumes they lay low
From London Slang:
geezer - a very common term for a man. There are many disproved origins of the word. Used respectfully and for a person of unknown name, i.e.. "some geezer" or to say that someone is a bit of a laddish rogue "he's a bit of a geezer". Also 'dodgy geezer' can be used to describe a man of bad character.
I wish someone would tell me these things. Now the Pavement line "I needed a visa/I bought off a geez-uh" makes much more sense.
