Geezer
Geezer is a British slang term, in its simplest form meaning a man. Derived from the differently pronounced 'guiser', a name for an actor in a mime. Possibly related to disguise. In this sense it refers to a kind of everyman. It may be used in a number of senses; to refer to a man whose name you do not know, similar to use of the word guy. It is also used to refer to a man who is overtly manly, masculine, or heterosexual, also someone noticeably capable, reliable, plainspeaking or down-to-earth. Although essentially a masculine quality it is not synonymous with macho however, and its usage may be thought of as very similar to that of the US English word dude. Example:  Joe Cole referred to Prince William as a "nice, relaxed geezer." In the British 1971 pop song by the Piglets, aka Jonathon King, 'Johnny Reggae' was described as being "a real tasty geezer".
