$4 - FEMALE - GEEZERHOOD
In a feeble attempt to tie in the extra key thread to FEMALE GEEZERHOOD, this happened to my 87 year old mother-in-law last winter.

1. She left our store at 2650' with light snow and strong winds.
2. It was dark on top of Horseshoe Bend Hill at 4250'
3. The cold air frosted the INSIDE of her windshield.
4. She made a near fatal mistake of getting out of her car.
5. The wind blew her car door shut locking it.
6. Open toe shoes, Arizona pants and top.
7. A car stopped to help an extimated 10 minutes later.
8. It was almost to late.
9. She now has an extra key outside.
10. Geezerhood prevents her from survival planning.

To extend Cliff's female Geezerhood thinking a little further, a co-worker's 70 year mother recently called thhe office in a dilemna: she was locked in a washroom stall at the mall. It wasn't an emergency, nobody seemed to be responding to her yells, her throat was sore but she had a cel phone and knew her daughter's work number.

Arthritis prevented her from just crawling under. Male Geezers, of course, aren't exempt from this happening to them, but it's more likely for female Geezers.

Carry a cel phone and a whistle. Those personal alarms for home aren't a bad idea either.

Hmmmm... I asked Mr. Google what a female geezer was, and was handed the term "Old broad". I suppose it's okay, but I always thought Old Broads smoked incessantly and drank straight whiskey, which I don't.

There must be a better word, so I'll call my English Journalism major friend.

She said there wasn't a really suitable word, and that many people use it as a unisex word. She didn't like "old broad" either, and for the same reasons.

So she just said to replace the masculine 'geezer' with the feminine 'Maxine', and that should do it.

LOL@ Mxine!

I believe there is a term/word used for the female version of geezer....ok wait a minute,gotta'make sure my armor isn't crushing my nuggets,ok now....It's "Hag" or Ol'Hag if you know they can't hear you,of course I would never refer to any of our members as such,regardless of how many Full Moons they've witnessed!

Rich, you're on thin ice... "Maxine" has a better survival rate.

lol! I knew I was in for a flogging,Maxine just sounds too...how would I say it, a cigarette in jolly Olde England,or what the little dutchboy got his finger stuck in!I sincerely Apologize to anyone with the above mentioned name!There is a correct & proper name for a female geezer,It's out there somewhere,I suggest leave it for the brain trust or not have one at all,for Chivalry's sake's!

I believe "Maxine" is a venerable and legally protected cartoon character.

From the way everyone is talking I think 'geezer' in the USA is an old gentleman?

In the UK it's a bit of fly by night quick dealer:
from the urban dictionary:

A Geezer is a male englishman who likes drinking, football, and violence, preferably all at the same time. Wants to be the typical cockney jack the lad. They dress up smart to normally pull 'birds' favourites being Stone Island and Burberry. Theyre basically like a better meaner version of a Chav and not bad people to know aslong as you just prove your a 'geezer'. Sorted me ol' mucker...
watch the film 'Lockstock and Two Smoking barrels'

I've always called them, Q-Tips. When you are stuck behind them driving 20 in a 35 in a big ass 80's caddy, the only thing you see over the drivers seat is the white poofy wig.
