What does 'geezer' mean in UK slang? I assume it's derrogatory, but in the US, 'geezer' just means old cranky person.
The word Geezer in the UK is a little more Vague..
You could say 'He's a bit of a Geezer' to say someone is crafty, streetwise and perhaps a bit untrustworthy, but this can be a good thing in the criminal mind of a Londoner, but you could also so say 'He's just some old geezer' to say he's not important.
It's a bit of a funny word. I live up north where we only use the word when we're speaking 'mockney' - which is kinda like cockney (Which Londoners speak) but is purely meant to make fun of southerners.
Nottingham is in the Midlands, where they might call you 'Duck' as a term of endearment - but that's another story - she doesn't have a Midlands accent anyhow.

I think in the UK it used to be used to describe older people, but in modern times has been adapted to refer to a man who is thought of as very masculine and overtly heterosexual or what they call a player.
I could be wrong as I am an aussie and we don't really use that term here.
Anyone seen my sanity? I know I left it around here somewhere...

au contraire, i think everyone keeps questioning it BECAUSE they keep bringing it up. if they didn't mention it in almost every video, we would just accept the fact that okay, they aren't going to the police. they can't, the police can't be trusted. right right. and now creators, moving on..
umm...they mentioned it in 2 videos. can you count and do you read the forums much? and if people would stop complaining about it on here as to why they haven't gone to the police yet, maybe they would stop. they never brought it up in any of the videos before the forum was full of questions about it.
i could have sworn there was another situation where daniel wanted to go to the police and bree wouldn't let him, so he was angry, but there is a possibility i imagined it, i don't feel like going back and looking, because you ticked me off with your snarky attitude (see my signature). i do read the forums a lot, but lately i've been reading less, due to the self-righteous pompous attitudes of contributors. i used to be very into the CiW forums before it died, possibly because people were actually respectful of others opinions there. it's just a show, there's no need to get all testy about other people's interpretations/ideas about it. and this isn't just to you, it's to several people on here. part of the reason i stopped being an english major is because i got sick of people talking just to make themselves sound smart (plus it's a useless major), i don't really need that in something i look to for mindless entertainment as well.
I have no time for anyone's snarkyness...other than my own.

"Can you count", real nice.
Do you really think they sit back, look at the forums, and go "well, some people are still asking about the police so let's say it again"? No. This whole story has hardly been about catering to the lowest denominator, so implying that they are appeasing fans who still question the police angle is a little bit naive.
Maybe they are just doing some filler to cater to the demand of a new vid every few days instead. Maybe since Gemma is a character now and they might not have the story advancement ready, they reiterate and respond as a way to fill some time.

its more athletic than say...bowling
I'm not sure that's true.....jumping and then holding your breath until your head bobs up out of the water? I wonder who even thought of such a thing in the first place.
