Where and how is Geil used?
The urban dictionary writes:
GEIL (Guy-el) The best colloquial word ever established by the German language. It has slowly assimilated itself into English speaking culture, particularly the Southeast of America. These cities such as: Charleston, Charlotte, Atlanta, and Chattanooga the word 'GEIL' is used frequently and interchangeably between the people whom reside there.
Simple in Context:
Im so Geil! (Fucked up) Wanna get Geil? (Wanna get wasted/fucked up/nutty/lit..etc) She's fucking Geil! (She is hot and DTF) Brad, im so fucking GEIL!
Hey Chad, you down to get GEIL tonight?
Hey is that Wendy Brown over there by the bartop? Yea, it is chad. Damn, she's GEIL.she's GEIL.
she's GEIL.
My questions:
- Is this true and are there other areas where this word is known and used?
- Is there only the sexual connotation or could it also be used like "that's cool" (because the meaning in German has changed that way over the years)
- How taboo is it? mild or strong (I guess peergroup dependent...)?
Solution 1:
I haven't heard geil spoken by English or American speakers at all. I know what it means from some German rap songs I listened to, but it definitely is not common in English. You can un-asterikize the title =P.
Funny though, how if you google geil, the links are pretty harmless, except for the ads, which are all about "Nude XXX Pictures - Free!"
