   I watched an episode of "Travel Man" where they went to Iceland, and looked at the geysers. They pronounced it "geezer" -- I knew the words are related, but I hadn't ever heard it pronounced that way. Maybe it's common in England?

   I thought I was on better terms with the word "geezer" than this.

     @revmem yes, they're homophones in "British" English.

     @botvolution I'll have to be doubly mindful of geyser eruptions
