what's a 'geezer'?

Answer 1

Also it can mean "An old, especially eccentric, man". This meaning comes from British dialectal slang for "a queer [strange] character, a strangely-acting person". It may also be a corruption of the word "guiser", meaning a "masquerader" or "mummer" (actor in a play or pantomime, especially noted for his/her gestures and/or facial expressions). In pantomimes, the parts of the "old maid" are usually "old men" disguised, hence being referred to as a "guiser" or "geezer".
