As you can see here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geezer, the original 
meaning of the term Geezer, as still used in the UK, is significantly 
different from how it's used in the US.  Should we also be trying to get 
people to go back to that meaning?  For that matter, how about the term 
geek: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geek#Etymology  Language evolves, and 
pretending that it doesn't isn't going to do anybody any good.  My 
advice is to ignore it and move on.
