The name geyser comes from Geysir, the name of an erupting spring at Haukadalur, Iceland; that name, in turn, comes from the Icelandic verb gjósa, "to gush". Geezer procounced the same but spelt differently is a British slang term, in its simplest form meaning a man. In Australia the term geezer can often be used to refer to someone from England, due to the belief that the English say geezer a lot.
